"I will never forget that the only reason I'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when it wasn't popular. And because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. And then a few thousand stood up. And then a few million stood up. And standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world." -- Barack Obama

Promises.
You may not care; you may not want to be here; you may hate me, disrespect me, mock me; you may try to get rid of me. But I will love every single one of you. I will do my very best to give you the education you deserve. I will sit you down and make you learn. I will give nothing less than my all to ensure that you grow up as responsible, mature adults. Try as hard as you want, but I'm not leaving you. There is nothing you can do to stop me from loving you for who you are as a person, as a child of God. You are never going to stop me from trying, falling, and rising up even stronger. You can frustrate me, anger me, try to push me off the cliff as much as you want, but if you think that's gonna drive me out, you're wrong. Together, we're going to learn; we're going to have fun; we're going to believe in ourselves when no one else would; we're going to succeed even if we are the only people that thought we could. You may never thank me or understand why I'm here, but that's okay. All I want you to know is that you are treasured, and you are loved. That, is my promise to you.
