My name is Briauna.
Summing myself in a few short sentences isn't an easy task, plus I find it quite limiting. However, each post tells a little about myself and my life, so go off of that. Or ask me a question directly if you so please.
Other than that, feel free to leave me a comment, a piece of advice, your thoughts and/or feelings about anything, or simply explore as a silent observer.
Cheers.
A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”
He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.
The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

I don’t watch sports because they bore the shit out of me. I don’t blame sports. I blame me for not enjoying outdoor activities that include math. Not a numbers guy.
Some things to do besides watching sports:
- Sopranos was really good, If you missed that whole thing.
- You could…
