Rick never got along well...

Rick never got along well at school. He was known for his defiance of teachers and the rules. It seemed to be a law stamped on his heart, "I will do it my way." That is, until Miss Rachenko arrived. Something about Miss Rachenko was different. She never yelled, never demanded. She listened. She cared. At first, Rick thought she was a pushover. Miss Rachenko never sent Rick to the principal's office. Rather, she called on Rick to take leadership roles in the classroom, such as lunchtime monitor. It was a risk, but Rick responded.
