Sapling To Tree

A tender sapling -- delicate, frail without support will often fail Tied to a stake, it has a chance to grow up straight, to firm its stance... Oftentimes we judge a tree by its leaves and stature When roots trunk and branches ~ reveal its character

This is how I see young new teachers who used to be assigned a mentor, but no longer have that kind of support system.

So true, it is the soul of the tree we often don't see (ha, didn't mean to do that!) - introspective and intriguing..
