No Home Tonight
One day, a girl confided, "Ms. Parker, I wish my mom was as kind as you. She's so harsh, telling me if I don't make it into high school, I should just work or get married. It's like she doesn't love me at all."

"But hey, whether they love you or not isn't the main thing. What really matters is loving yourself. If you've got no one to lift you up, it's time to sprout your own wings."
