Knowing that we are accomplishing our mission in this world is the most fulfilling feeling

I wanted her to always have everything so good and so perfect. I knew it wasn’t realistic

“Today, as we say goodbye to our four years in high school, we leave as changed people”

And then she told me something that was so amazing. She said to me, “Do you know that you are allowed to speak up for yourself?”

So then why did my teacher ask me, “Do you think that you can control what your brother Shuey does?”

My eyes opened wide. Mrs. Schonfeld was sharing something so personal. Mrs. Schonfeld didn’t have a perfect life? 

I wished I could make Yom Tov feel a little more yontifdig. But I couldn’t get into the right mood

I wanted people to feel bad for me, but I got so angry whenever anyone treated me like a nebach case.
