Did u hear about the rose that grew from a crack
in the concreteProving nature’s laws wrong it
learned 2 walkwithout having feet
Funny it seems but by keeping its dreams
it learned 2 breathe fresh airLong live the rose that grew
from concretewhen no one else even cared!
—Tupac Shakur (1999)

When I was in [public] high school, the teachers they’re not friendly
I had some pretty bad experiences because all the schools I went to, if you weren’t like a certain type of person then nobody liked you and you got picked on
I didn’t like the way I was being treated, that’s all

Comfort in an alternative program Teachers here don’t look at you as a
student, they look at you as a person and a student so they treat you like both… you can call teachers by their first names here, which is also a sign of respect, too, in a way
The students or the other people are easy to get along with and they accept you
