Tomorrow Depends on Today

In classrooms around the world,

no matter where they are,

the future sits in its seats.

Teachers teaching,

the pressure is pressing.

They help mold the children sitting in the seats.

 

Life is ahead of them, beyond the seats they are sitting in them.

 

It takes more than the numbers of arithmetic,

more than the lists of events in history,

more than writing essays,

more than walking in straight lines.

 

The classroom doesn't have to be formulaic.

Life is about being happy.

 

Guiding kids on the humanity of the world,

the pleasures of life,

of optimism,

of motivation,

of creating dreams,

of the failures of dreams,

and getting back up again after falling...

they are the most important.
