The Good Student



He sits in the first row to be seen and heard.  Never absent or ill-prepared, he perpetually raises his hand to answer questions others cannot.  He is smiling, engaging, and willing if not always able.

He arrives in the dark before "free-breakfast" is served to start the day. Nearby, the principal is waiting to unlock the boys’ gym for him to shower and dress.

Squeaky-clean, well-fed and cared for, 
he is home.
