Giving Back..

So I had a really nice talk with the boss today, my boss rules--she is a really classy lady--so when you come across it--you admire it--as to stumble across a woman who has class these days, eh, its a very rare find--everything she does, is done with class--we have a great relationship, which I truly value--so in our hanging out today--we were talking about giving back--about people who give back to society--where the money goes--and we agreed that so many of us, tend to finish school, get into great jobs, careers--and feel the need to give back--but who do we give back to--well, we agreed that so much money pours into ones high school, and even college--it is the first school, the primary grades that get nothing--nada--not a penny--so we discussed this--This upsets me--nope, it really does--and my reasons---well, I see what we do all day---I know the tears I dry, the encouragement I give--the papers I rip up if you didn't head it correctly--the passion for math that I create--the papers I give back if we're still printing in the upper grades--as I stress the importance of being able to write quickly during those college years--ugh, NYU--lectures--yup that script was fast--and then I reminisced about the really younger grades--to read right to left--to write in your notebook, right to left..and NOT before the faint red line---yup, someone taught you that--how to read, how to hold the friggin pencil--how to deal with death, the first time it hit you, whether it was a family member or that pet--we all made the time to comfort you--taught you that sometimes we have to fail in order to succeed--so with that--I stated my reason---reason for the conversation--I would like, for every graduating class from this point on--to start--on my own--an immigrant scholarship==where 4 will be chosen--students who are immigrants or parents of immigrants--shall receive five hundred dollars---with a brief speech about immigration--and the difficulties that exist---now many of mine are continuing on in rather expensive, elite schools, easily 10 G's per year--I feel this will assist with maybe even books, supplies--or something--but what I am aiming to create---is the sense of giving---giving back to the place that is most forgotten--and hoping to create a domino effect here---where maybe, just maybe--as they go off--off to high school--then college--and hopefully rewarding careers--that they will maybe do the same, maybe remember being the recepient of such an award--or remember that it was US who led them to where they are today--especially if the passion lies in Math--that was me--telling you to never give up--telling you of the fortune five hundred companies--the financial district--the world out there, waiting for you---never fails--after 16 yrs--the first question of the first day always remains the same--who loves math--and i see all of the faces--the look of disgust on almost everyone's face--and then my promise--that after 3 yrs with me--you will love it--just love it---and as fate has it--after those 3 long hard years of their determination---it becomes the favorite--the favorite subject---so as this year comes to a close--i still have to wonder--who gives---and to whom--
