JERON'S STORY

Jeron's teacher knew he had written a strong poem a couple days earlier and asked him to present it at All School Meeting. Only problem was, he didn't have it with him. He was poised enough, however, to be able to rewrite it ... both pages! ... in preparation for the presentation. Jeron doesn't always need notes, however; he made an eloquent speech about racism, violence and labels, concluding with the surprise announcement that the paper he was using was blank! By speaking from his heart and mind, he wowed the crowd. PDF version
