She's seventeen, uneducated and uninterested in being a better teacher, so when she gets a student who's afraid, she doesn't push or nurture. She had a little girl like that, one who wouldn't leave the wall of the pool without crying. Ten minutes and two sets of tears later, I had her swimming by herself, leaping in, swimming again. She asked her mother, "Can we do that again tomorrow?" << | x | >> whatiscopyright.org
