Punished By the Principal

She blows into my life like a sandstorm.

Within three minutes she insults me, curses me, and threatens to have me fired for giving her son detention.

I'm so mad I'm about to give her detention . . .

And before I can stop myself I say something I can't take back.

Do I apologize?

Do I back down?

Do I surrender?

Nah.

If the Army taught me anything, it's this:

When you cross a line, there's no turning back.

You just face forward and keep going.

Keep going until you claim what you're fighting for.

Claim it forever.
