    Yesterday I stepped between two students that were going to fight (gang rivalry). One was so angry at me for breaking up the fight, he stepped up in my face. Honestly thought at that moment that I was going to get my ass knocked out. I stood motionless returning his stare. Seemed like forever, but he finally backed down.

    This morning, he greeted me with a huge smile and a handshake. No words needed to be exchanged. He knows I care, I know he's trying hard to change.


    Good for you, that must have been scary.
    It's funny because fear never entered my mind until like an hour later. In the moment, I just kept thinking that he's come so far this year and if he swings all that progress will be lost. This kid has such a good heart underneath the tough facade.

    Your story made my day. That is a big thing to do. Who knows what kind of devastation and life-long affects can come from a physical brawl... Way to go man, seriously! :)

    I'm very proud of him. I hope and pray he applies the same restraint outside of school.
