Learn your lesson.

Find more lessons.
Cultivate curiosity.

Do it yourself.
Start with the reading.

Sit in the front.

Learning alone I'll be lonely;
I get stuck; waste time, don't know,
I feel shame; lose heart; grow cold;
don't know where to start; get bold;
ask a question.
(after all, I have a teacher).

Lesson number six: 
Be gracious, kind, polite,
respectful.
We're together.

Lesson number seven:
Assert your freedom to explore.
Don't doubt your right to know more.
