Eugene Simonet, why i became a teacher: I think, that I became a teacher, because i didn't have any power. I ran away, when I was very young, because of my father, who always hitted my mother. After som years I came back, because I missed my mother. When I came back, my father knocked me unconcius, and when I woke up, I was strapped to a chair. My father poured gasoline all over me, and sat me on fire. So the most of my life i felt powerless, and that is also why I am so nervous all the time, and that I have to have a schedule for the day, so I know that I don't do anything wrong. Another reason for why I became a teacher, is that want to be able to protect the children, at least a little bit, and i'm trying to be a nice teacher, so the children can come to me with their problems. I have always thought of me to be very smart, and I thought, why not pass that on to the next generation, so i took an internship as a teacher, just to try it out, and I actually thought that it was pretty funny.

Letter to Agony Aunt

Dear Agony Aunt,

I am an 11-year-old boy who live with my mother and I have a big problem. I hope you can help me and give me a pice of advice.
My mom is an alcoholic and a liar. When ever she drinks, she says that she hasn't been drinking, but I can smell that she drank. She has hang-over nearly everyday. Most of the time I steal all of her alcohol, and throw it down the sink. It is very predictable where she is hiding her alcohol, and she is at work  the most of the day, so i have a lot of time for my self. Normally she loves me, or at least pretend to, but when she gets some alcohol she gets very irritable. Once she hit me, and I ran away, but she came after me, and I love her for that. I am pretty anxious that if she doesn't get some responsibility, it is going to get really bad.
Thank you in advance,
Trevor
