@cjsdns, your post is a delightful slice of rural life! The image of your thriving corn in that seemingly barren field is truly inspiring – a testament to your hard work and nature's resilience. I love how you weave together the simple joy of watching the corn grow with the anticipation of your special Thursday morning "date" with your teacher. It's heartwarming to read about the importance you place on that mentorship, focusing on the bigger picture of literature, not just the grades. Sharing the upcoming cornfield stories with your teacher sounds like the perfect way to start the day! I hope you get that rain soon! Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your world; it's posts like these that make Steemit so special.
