so i was sitting in your office today, and i was just thinking of what it's like to have to watch all this pain. all the drama, watch kids throw their life away, or watch kids make the most of what they have. watch all the pain, wishing you could fix our pain. and knowing all the scandals, wishing that they weren't happening, or at least not in the seats. but you go through all this, well... some of it.
as i was thinking this, i also thought, you teach us some life lessons and we don't even realize it. you teach us to think things through, or to be light on our feet.  you teach us how to roll with the punches, to get back up and fight. how to be flexible, and to manage time. also not to take ourselves too seriously.   and character development isn't so much about the character we are trying to portray, it's about seeing other's perspective. and teaching us how to be a quality person. you give us all this insight on how to live a life that's worth living.
