What’s Really Important
Word of the day : Size
“Isn’t human nature just divine?” Avery asks her students.
“Can you please explain Miss?”
Avery points to a boy in the back row. “Simon, I love your uniqueness. You wear your hair long when it’s frowned upon by others.”
She points to a girl in the far corner. “Willow, I adore your shyness, it highlights you’re a deep thinker.”

Avery smiles at each student. “It’s not how you look that’s important, but the size of your warm and loving heart.”
