today, i came home disheveled.
sweater sleeves hanging loosely from too much rolling up.
hair doing a strange flippy thing over my turtleneck.
school i.d. still on.
make-up worn off.
boots scuffed.
looking like shitake mushrooms.
and do not smell much better.
but today, i was told 'thank you' today by a colleague.
and a student said he was sorry.
and although i spent 12 hours inside the high school building, and i heard it was a beautiful day, it was worth it.
i do not know when my self esteem told me this, but i believe it.
with every fiber of my being, i believe my work is worth it.
