Was having a "Woe is me" morning. Like many teachers, I started thinking that what bad things happened at school mattered in the real world (bad by school standards: truant kids, lost marks, uninspiring essays, et cetera.)
Went to my room for a little self-commiseration and Facebook. Learned that one of my former students has died. 19 years old, struck by a car. Lingered for 4 days. Now dead.
Perspective comes swiftly. I have no problems.
I send my sympathies to Sara Holt's family and friends.

Nitpick: "Woe" is me, not whoa.
