I Am Very Inspirational

I've been working with this learner who is a wonderful, beautiful, articulate, intelligent old soul. I'm helping her start a non-profit (...we're in the very ELEMENTAL stages...don't give me too much credit yet) called "Beauty For A Purpose," centered around girl empowerment and positive self esteem. 

She's also a poet, with a whole notebook full of teenage angst  and mature insightful work. She wrote a poem about me.  It's adorable. It's too much. It's below.


Miss Jay

The searchers of wisdom and knowledge
Savior of the world, the speaker of the
Voiceless, the young woman after
Wisdom rather than the Gold, stylish
And unique, her personality is breath-taking
The color of her skin doesn’t determine
Her character, the English and Art teacher
Flew all the way to South Africa and Namibia, driven
By love and kindness, Miss Jay the mother

Of Education (word I can’t read) of our days
