Broken Wing

Some students are just to be failures. Thats the way some adults look at 1 kids. Maybe youve heard the saying, “A bird with a 2 wing will never fly as high.”

Ware, the boy 10 the longest arrest record in the history of town.” Somehow, I knew that I wasnt the first to 11 about T. J.s darker side as the first words of introduction.
