This card was inspired by a chapter/excerpt in the book "50 Truths Worth Knowing". In this chapter/excerpt, Anndee spoke of her time as a young teacher of 28 students. Her dream was to teach them to love poetry - and she tried! But it didn't come easy for this group of students who dealt regularly with gunfire, hunger, fear, etc. She thought she'd failed, until the end of her time with them. At the final performance, the students read their poems to a group of parents, teachers and peers. One by one... they each read and Anndee saw the growth that had come. She whispered thanks to each one and in turn, each of her students handed her his/her poem. The paper was a bit crumpled from being in nervous hands during the program... but each poem was a treasure to Anndee.
