During a poetry reading, Ms Grant asked students to share one line that stood out and explain why. Devin picked a line that sounded cool, but he could not explain it, so he joked to hide his confusion. Ms Grant did not scold him; she asked him to read the lines before and after. Devin noticed the speaker was acting confident while feeling afraid inside. He recognized that feeling from his own first day at school. When Devin spoke again, his voice was quiet, but his explanation was real, and he felt proud.
