I am so incredibly proud of your actions those days, and am incredibly proud of the young adults you have both become. I am thinking of you and your family today, along with the thousands that lost loved ones. #September11 #NeverForget

James Pratt and his classmates placed a wreath at one of his relatives and provided the most heartfelt eulogy. Eva Pratt and her classmates placed flowers on the memorial benches of her relatives and so many others who lost their lives that day.

Best of luck, and thank you, to all of the educators out there who have been preparing for the new year. I wish you nothing but the best. It'll be my 15th first day as a teacher, and I am still nervous on the first day of school!! #FirstDayOfSchool

And just like that, he noticed, the first day, it was over, the foundation was set, He was more than a drover. For history is inquiry and discussion, debate, for his students to grow, to become something great.

He wowed them with artifacts he kept in his trunk, and one by one he noticed, how their fears, they had shrunk. He spoke many words as he went 'bout his work, he knew they were believing, he showed them a smirk.
