I walked into the boy's bathroom and saw my student washing his hair in the sink. He looked up at me soaking wet and said, "I'm just getting ready for class and tried to walk past me. I stepped in front of him and blocked the door. He got annoyed and told me to move, but I said, "Not until you tell me what's going on." He stared at the floor for a long time and said, "My Nana works all the time, but she still can't pay the water bill. The next morning I left a towel and soap on the sink for him. He walked in and just stood there staring at it. That same day, I watched him in the cafeteria taking small bites of his food so that it lasted the whole period. I started keeping granola bars in my desk and every time his stomach growled in class, I'd slide one across his desk. Then the principal called me into her office. You can't be leaving items in bathrooms or giving students food without approval. The following morning, I watched the custodian pull the towel and soap off the sink and toss them in the trash. Deon walked in a few minutes later and turned on the faucet. I went straight to the store that afternoon, filled the cart with soap, shampoo, a towel, and food for the week and drove to his house. His Nana opened the door still in her scrubs and when I told her why I was there, she grabbed the doorframe and started crying. I worked so hard, but it's never enough. He never tells me anything. I helped her pay the water bill that night and signed her up for assistance so it wouldn't happen again. A week later, I walked past that bathroom and it was empty. Deon was already at his desk, he'd left a granola bar on mine.
