By Shelley Kenow When I was nine years old I knew I wanted to be a teacher. The feeling never went away, but it changed over time. At first, I only wanted to teach general education third grade, then a few years later I added second grade.

“What are your wishes?” her friends asked Ziva in a lunch-gathering for her 25th birthday. She had none, she replied, shrugging her shoulders. “There’s always a wish, no matter what…” one of her friends interrupted an awkward if brief silence. Eighteen months earlier Ziva’s husband of three years succumbed to injuries he had suffered on the last day in the 1967 Six Day War.
