 "It's 4a.m. I've struggled for the last hour to go to sleep.  But, I can't.  Yet again, I am tossing and turning, unable to shut down my brain.  Why?  Because I am stressed about my students.  Really Stressed.  I'm so stressed that I can only think to write down what I really want to say - the real truth I've been needing to say - and vow to myself that I will let my students hear what I really think tomorrow." ......
