Picking Up the Fallen Ears of Wheat

Thirty is an awkward age. It's too late to start dating, yet too early to get married and support a family. You no longer have the drive you had at twenty, but you still have hope for the future. People say that once you're thirty, you should have built a career and secured a stable job and income. Yet the line of work I'm in often leaves me feeling lost. They say that every school built means one less prison, and while that's an exaggeration, it isn't without truth. Students who fail their exams are like fallen ears of wheat, and our job is to gather up the thousands upon thousands of ears of wheat for our country. This path may be full of sunshine, but it also has its share of hardships. Now, let me share our story with you.
