team. I started working exclusively with those four runners as they approached bigger invitational meets and a school record. They ended up fifth in the state and they had their school record. After the race, these four kids started talking about running in college and how much they loved the sport.

Butler makes this very evident in the case of Keith. Due to his knowledge of reading and writing, he is let alone at…

The bright sun reared its ugly head and my forehead immediately began to perspire. My hand gripped Katie’s and we ran. I tried to focus on my mother. Honestly I did, but it was Katie’s scream which got me. I turned my head slowly as we ran past. I saw a glimpse of what would be our new life. It was Mr. Jenkins, or what looked like Mr. Jenkins.
