Teacher

By TornPieces

Dear journal.

today is 1997..I am seven years old, and I am in the second grade.

Sometimes I get in trouble..because, I look out the window too much.

I look at the pictures of the people inside the picture frames at the store with my mommy..

the mommies in those pictures hold you..and the daddys carry you on their shoulders.


My teacher looks like the lady in those pictures.

She hangs up my pictures and tells me she loves me. She hugs me and says I am special.


When it is time to go home, I want to pretend I will go home with my teacher.

my mommy and daddy are scary.


Teacher.

you are my family.

I wish I had a dad like my kindergarten teacher, but my sad was never there for me. I really loved this! It was amazing!
