Teaching Expectations
"Be more than you are Miss Daniels, raise the bar
Follow your dreams and choose your unsurpassable star
Do not vaguely tell me that you do not know why
Do not pretend to learn - that's "pie in the sky"
Your homework is all hard work and building blocks of who you will be
If you have a question for God's sake ask me
Don't slip through the cracks of dragging feet and sagging minds
The truth is the truth and that's what one must find
You are your best representative, your voice must be heard
Speak with the clarity of scholars and always use your best words
These words from my teacher have stayed since my youth
They are timeless examples of how to live and to remind
To take courage and meaning to the truth
Of just who we are and what we need to find
