This book contains a sampling of Student Notes: Some Nice, Some Naughty. My husband descended from a long line of educators. He and many of our friends are secondary school teachers. Listening to their experiences and stories over the years intrigued me. The notes for this book were collected with the intention of putting them into a book, which is how this came about. There are no main characters, just a compilation of the best notes saved by teachers over the years. A lot of the notes were lost over time, but these have special meaning. Some are informative, some revealing, and some simply funny.

She was born an only child in Beaumont, Texas, to Scots-Irish parents who married late in life. She grew up in the '50s and '60s loving classical to rock and roll music, and reading. She wanted to learn music and play the piano, but never got a piano. Writing was also a dream, but it did not happen as a child. Only as an adult did she learn advanced music by playing hand bells, and she wrote for her church newsletter. "My Irish great-grandfather was a poet and my Scottish father wrote for his fraternal organization. I started writing poetry when my daughter was dating a young man who was obviously looking for answers for his own life. It just poured out on a piece of paper as if someone invisible was moving my hand. From then on, I realized I had the gift of poetry. All I had to do was listen for the inspiration."

One day, seemingly from out of nowhere, through two dreams and a vision, God moves me to a setting under the Shadow of His Almighty Wings. From this peaceful place, God begins to heal me from pain and wounds I did not know I carried, and which over three decades and across three continents continuously held me in bondage.This past emanated from a breakup with a star soccer player in one of Kenya's national soccer clubs. He was open to polygamy to be with me. As a Christian, I was not; we broke up. By that time, I had a daughter with him.She grew up knowing only the first name of her biological father and that he abandoned us. Beyond this, I never spoke about him and never thought about him. Unknown to me, I did not heal from the breakup.Three decades later, I received a visitation from God. Through the Holy Spirit talking to me as a person right next to me, Christ recovers this past I long buried, reveals to me how wounds from the breakup, unknown to me, tossed me from one complex relationship to another. Christ heals me from these pains, and then restores me to the knowledge and acceptance of the sufficient grace of God. Edith A. Chillo is a history professor from Kenya.
