“Wait. You rearranged the entire class schedule? But why?” My fork stopped between my spinach salad and my gaping math in the lunch room. “Because of the tests,” the teacher said with a look of disbelief. Let me back up.

Sitting in the theatre seats, I jerked upright when they called my son’s name. The directors awarded my senior the John Philip Sousa award. I honestly thought, there are better players in the band.
