If you're excited about something and someone tells you to
''settle down'', tell them to *fak off*. Saying it out loud to
them is completely optional. You can say it in your mind. Nobody
can see it. It's *your* enthusiasm. It's your rollercoaster in
your own private Funland.
If you get enthusiastic, *stay enthusastic*. Don't let *anyone*
knock you off your rollercoaster. *If they try to, send them to
me.* I got your back.
I can see it now ''My student just told me to talk to you, Ken.
Who are you and what did I do wrong?'' I'll be waiting. Mrs.
Teacher/Mr Parent, Mr. Bully, Ms Meangirl. You don't mess with
someone's enthusiasm. HELL NO.
