MISCELLANY
EndNotes
Faithless struggle
I am from misery
from burden and suffering
I am from servitude and subservience
I am from pain of loss and
continuing loneliness
I am from isolation, cold and
depression, I am from rage, and from
hate, from tears and sorrows
I’m from poverty and hunger, I’m
from drifting apart and coming together
I am from dehydration, to freezing
cold, from joy to torment
I’m from “Don’t lose hope” and
“How sad”, I’m from holding on,
and I’m from getting better.
Pedro Montanez

Foster parents
Living here has changed me a lot. My foster parents have helped me
control my anger by talking to me when I’m mad or just leaving me alone
and letting me calm down. My foster parents talk to me about everyday
stuff and if there’s a problem I can talk to them about it and I don’t
have to keep it inside.

Words
of Wisdom
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use
long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about
lunch?'”
“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come
to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be
patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his
ear.”
“You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he
doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days
when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.”
“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to
watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know
everything there is to be known.”
“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”
“A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.”
— A.A. MILNE (Winnie the Pooh)
