The nerd Project 3

Epilogue

Jamie's pov

It was hard to believe the year was done.

This kids have become like family to Lea and I.

So much has happened.

I lost 2 of my students this year.

Trevor died of a drug over dose.

I tried to reach out to him, but he just refused the help.

I felt as if I failed him in a way.

It was hard hearing that he had died.

I wanted every one of my students to succeed.

We also lost Dorian.

He took his own life.

He was just in too much pain to be helped.

He blamed himself for something he had no control over.

Everyone in the class took the 2 deaths very hard.

We did a memorial for them here at the school.

I wanted to honor them.

I also wanted to get the word out about suicide and drug use.

I didn't want to lose anyone else because of this.

They were far too young to die.

On the plus side I have a lot of success stories that happened this year.

Each one of my students has received a scholarship to go to college.

They all dealt with so much yet they made it.

Abuse, scandal, family drama, death.

You name it they dealt with it.

They didn't let it bring them down.

They are stronger despite the hell they had to survive to get to where they are.

To say I'm proud would be an understatement.

They have amazed me.

I feel like I am a better person because of them.

They aren't just my students anymore.

They are now a part of my family.

I would do anything for these kids.

Being a teacher is about so much more than just teaching.

You have to get involved, and show them you care.

Never give up on them.

That is what makes the nerd project so successful.

I couldn't wait to see what next year brought.
