I

What can I do?

From a young age I drew the attention of grownups and peers. Maybe they expected me to be a kind of big shot, maybe I also felt that way. Nevertheless here I am with nothing to show for myself.

I do see a mess around me, politicians offering what they cannot deliver here in Chilpancingo, thousands in danger tonight in Haiti.  I feel like Chicken Little. I do have a pulpit, I teach around sixty kids this term. Nevertheless, I do not feel I am doing as much as I can.

More on Haiti.
