I told Sr. Danielle about my idea of having a king of a class. She liked the idea so much that she decided to make thirteen little kings (or queens), one for each class. Because the students have end of the semester examinations in December, she thought it might help rev up their engines. And as a special surprise, there is going to be a King of Kings, the exemplary student of the whole school.
It was Sr. Danielle though who inspired the idea. After a professor gave a very depressing talk about Cholera to the students, Sr. Danielle said that the students need hope and optimism. If they are told constantly how bad they are and how bad life is that is what they will think for the rest of their life.
Now I need to make thirteen crowns!
