It began a long process of ricocheting off the walls of the c overd area and amidst its song born flight it somehow managed to collide with the jawbone of a rather thuggish looking 5th grader. At this time, an ominous dark cloud of peevishness began spouting from the disgruntled upperclassmens nostrils.  A large crowd began chanting, labour fight fight  that was slowly forming around us like vultures circling to pick at the bones of the unfortunate loser. Realizing that the odds of me emerging alive from this mess werent  real good, I began to think of a strategy that would enable all my stu dy organs to remain intact.  I decided to use humor to scourge this barbaric beast.  I must have ridiculed and made fun of myself over 200 times.

I knew that  taking a violent hold up would only lead to a dead end.   I chose the road in which many of the most memorable leaders have taken, a road that has been traveled by few.  The nonviolent  road.  There are many ways to solve a problem.  As a wise man once said, A coward strikes with his fist, a warrior strikes with his mind.
