Setting Example
August 8, 2017
Need to be honest
About nature of struggle
ED voice is too loud
Not eating enough
Don't know if I have lost weight
Avoiding the scale
Student in one class
At risk or has own issues
Food, body image
One of my worst fears
To set a bad example
What a role model
It'd be terrible
If she tried to be like me
Trigger the onset
Rumor is "she's thin"
Diagnostic words not used
But I know better
Her other problems
Differ- social, boy magnet
Attention-seeking
Sounds like borderline
Personality, based on
Behavior described
My role as teacher
Help students, serve as mentor
Be good influence
Need to get my act
Together before school starts
Facilitate goal
To present myself
As strong, courageous leader
Able to withstand
Unrelenting pull
Of negative obstacles
Continue fighting
