All the things you answer on the first week of school are pretty dumb, don't you think? Yeah, me too. Favorite this, Favorite that. Why do they need to know?
One question stuck out to me.
Who do you admire most?
Jesus. A simple question sure can knock the breath out of someone.
"Let's see who this kid wants to be like. Huh? No one I've ever heard of. Let me look it up. Oh."
The obituaries popping up for a students most admired person would make my heart drop.
Because at such a young age, the person that they looked up to the most is dead.
This child has been through too much.
Oh, summer child.
