Never let your obstacles become more important than your goals.
Richard wanted Kaprice to mentor him. One of her conversations reminded him to stay focused on the bigger picture “graduation”. If only he would have listened. (Slater, 2018, Miss Kaprice)

Lord of The Flies by William Golding
Music by LGBTQ Artists
Music Videos
I have added a video and music by two openly gay artists. Music is a great equalizer. Students can listen to contemporary music and find relatable experiences. The music video shows the artist dressed in transgender clothing.The video shows a different cultural perspective of gays. The book talks about “More and better books are being written everyday to help teens understand the world they live in.” (Chance, 2014, pg. 127)
Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan and Luna by Julie Anne Peters
Both books deal with LGBTQ issues and adolesence. Our textbook says “ twenty percent of all teenagers have some degree of same-sex orientation” ( Chance , 2008, pg. 63). The book reminds us that we are here to serve all young adults. Dr. Moore has said we are not the “moral” police.
