The stresses of the end of the academic year often seem unending. From studying for finals to trying to fit everything you own into a few suitcases, the tasks of closing out the year can seem insurmountable. Imagine adding more stress with extra things to do, such as putting a temperamental 4-year-old to bed and coordinating doctor’s appointments for a sick 5-year-old. These are the additional stresses and challenges some Richmond students face.

Immediately after the release of the Kony 2012 video, countless criticisms were made of the video itself and the Invisible Children organization.

My first day of teaching in 2007, Jerome showed up 15 minutes late and disrupted my entire class, ensuring that everyone knew that he had finally arrived. Other teachers had warned me about his disruptive behavior. They said, "Put him in the back and ignore him, or he'll ruin your class."

In fact, he was the lowest scoring student in the class on my preliminary exam.

I can't believe it.'"

This is the incendiary tale of a couple of average Richmond kids, trying to come to grips with success ... who come up short, with nothing to show for themselves but a tale that begs to be told.
As you walk by, you pull out your phone, you search through your bag, you start an intense conversation with your friend walking with you, you claim momentary deafness, you have a sudden coughing attack ... you do everything, you try with all the innovativeness of a University of Richmond student to avoid making eye contact.
