My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, PΓ₯lestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
@NYCMayor I dont understand why not just announce schools are either remote or closed. It would make it much easier to message to families what they should do and whether they need to pick up a device from a school.
