“Difference: Then I think about Ms Broome's assignment. What could I be? What do I wish I could become to change the world? I think about telling Benni I might want to be wet cement to fill the cracks in the sidewalk. Not to hide. But to stop someone else from tripping. Or maybe I'd be an umbrella to keep rain from someone's head. Keep someone dry in a storm. But I don't say none of that to Benni, because I don't think either of those things would change the world. So I tell her I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know how to change the world.”
