BE A BETTER ME

About this poem

Written for a pilot school program designed completely for 5th GRADE TRUANTS. They had to learn and appreciate themselves. Thus, they were given another opportunity to be changed. I was assigned to teach 5th graders who had run away 4 different instructors during the first half of school year. However, they were challenged to new heights in 1993-1994 school year as they had to listen to me recite this poem. It was a moment of a continuous chaotic day; I had almost given up. There unbelievable conduct was treacherous. Then a voice from beyond the sky, spoke. This poem I uttered! Everything changed, even me. I realized that I too could be a Better Me. They learned to think differently about themselves. They were told to think, say, and write these words... Some even memorized the poem. THE WORD WORKED (ref. Romans 12:1-2 KJV) more »
