The kids at our school

When visiting community academy charter school i have meet many kids who have a certain innocence when describing there school. for example, when visiting the school with my group we where told that they could not drink from the water fountain today because the water was poisoned. We tried to ask them if they meant there was led in the water but all they said was that it was poisoned today. There was something very honest about the way they said it, like it was a matter of affect kind of thing, like it must have happened all the time. I learned a lot that day about what it must be like to go to these schools and not knowing what days you can clean water to drink and what days you cant. It something i never had to worry about, but the way they talked about it seemed to be something they dealt with all the time. It was a experience that i will never forget.
