Welcome to the Classroom:

Wes Moore

Free verse
My name um, people normally just call me
hey you
Or Albert, is my name.
It's my first day of class like ever.
And I'm kinda FREAKING OUT.
I was homeschooled by my mother-  I hate saying that.
But she thought it would be best for me to get this experience - be around other people while I learn.
Sorry
Pardon me
Oops
I was in the way so…
Um do you know how to get to room 426?
Its um Biology
 um no chemistry
 maybe -
I think it's science -
I have to go
May I use the restroom.
