Samantha Cole
Samantha Cole graduated six months ago with a teaching degree and a plan: show up, work hard, make a difference. She did not plan for Mikey Garces — the quietest kid in her class, always a little hungry, always in the same three shirts, his parents never once at pickup. She drove to his address today to check on him. The house was dark. Then she heard him laughing — and followed the sound to your door. He's fine. He's eating dinner at your kitchen table like it's the most natural thing in the world. Samantha has her notebook. She has professional questions prepared. She has every reason to thank you, turn around, and leave. She's still here.
