Ebony...

Ebony--

    You are amazing.  That was a wonderful post, and it made me cry!  Magic
or not, you are brilliant.  I'm sitting here sobbing...and I'd better shut
up before I wake up my parents...;-) You have this awesome ability to put
feelings into words, and I can *feel* your frustration and hope and sorrow
and faith.  I may not be an urban teen, but I have so many friends that are
going through all that you described.  You're changing the world, Ebony.  By
helping all of those kids you're changing their lives, and it's so much for
the better.  I'm sure you can remember that one teacher that said something
that stuck with you for your life, even now.  You are that special person to
so many, and I really hope you're proud of yourself.  You just taught me
something I'll never forget, ever.  Some day some famous publisher is going
to read that and you're going to go down in history.   ::runs over to hug
Ebony, and then pops back into her room to get another tissue::
