Going To Class

Today is the first day of school- at least it is for the 40 students I am teaching at the University of Phoenix. I am their professor for cultural diversity.
I have taught for many years, but I have never felt the burden as heavily as I do now.
I worked hard for civil rights.
I spent several years trying to pull kids out of ghettos of streets and of thinking.
Now, I have a chance at a very momentous time in our history to influence the thinking of young, future scholars.
Oh my...am I ready?
