Healing or hurting??? by Stephanie Graupner (ereader ebook .TXT) 📕

This book is for my amazing language arts and English teacher who is leaving us from small town Shirland IL to go to South Dakota. We will miss her so much even if we gave her a hard time because she was so short. Miss Amber Renee Fjeldheim, this is for you.

I was walking down the halls at my new job, so nervous because I didn't know how my students would like me. I was especially waiting for the comments about my height. My name is Amber Renee Fjeldheim, a beautiful name for a beautiful lady if I do say so myself. I'm around 5'0" with dark brown curly hair and blue eyes. I had to get ready for the classes. I wear dresses most of the time with a pair of stylish heels. Let me tell you that I am a crazy shoe lady!!! I once said, "Online shopping is the best and worst thing to ever happen..." As I was completing my tasks to start the day of right, I hadn't noticed anyone in the room when there was one girl sitting there. The thing I didn't know at the time and wouldn't know for a while; she was suicidal. She wrote poems about it and happened to leave a few on my desk the next year. They were amazing so I called her in when my homeroom class was in the library, the eight graders. I asked what it was all about and she started crying. I remember that two or three of the eight grade boys kept coming in and out; seeing her crying. To this day I still wonder and I bet she does too, if they were checking on her or why they kept returning. Anyways she started writing all the poems into a journal, as I suggested. We only talked that once and I'm pretty sure she has started to feel better, but I'm not sure especially since I'm leaving and won't be able to talk anymore with her.
