Mike Sime I have a kind of love-hate relationship with school.. . love for what a school could and should be, hate for what it's reality too often is. Put into a paragraph your life for the past 13 years, yeah. . .sure. . .why not? It's a collage of images scratching at the surface. . . begging to come to life. ..

I become numb. .. too often. . . The question why school? is not asked often enough . . .we've spent so much of our lives drifting. Caroljones
