I am an assistant principal in a middle school (grades 6-8). When I have to search a student's cell phone, I often get sick to my stomach at what I find. It gets worse and worse every year.
"I could feel hot, salty tears coming down my face. I sat and cried silently... I was scrunching myself up against the wall as far as I could. All of a sudden, someone from behind us taps on the guy’s shoulder..."
“When I first saw it, it was an ‘Oh my God’ moment. It is so pink and so large. It’s pretty obnoxious, I hate to say. It is so in your face, you wouldn’t believe it."
“As we went to head to the NICU to see Madeline for the first time, she collapsed and fell to the floor...and it became apparent that she was not going to make it.”
"In a split second my smile faded, replaced with a frown and thoughts of all the soul crushing things that modern mothering has in store for that first time mom in the room next to mine."
