The story : Lisa is a kindergarten teacher.
She has a husband and two high school aged children and none of them really seems to have much time for her.
She also takes a poetry class but is struggling with it and her poems.
One day while waiting for her student Jimmy's guardian to pick him up , Lisa overhears him reciting a poem at random.
Lisa runs to write it down and then takes it to her class and recites it as her own.
This gets her better attention in the class than she was ever getting before.
With time , Lisa becomes obsessed with supporting Jimmy's creativity.
She goes to great lengths to get the people in Jimmy's life to acknowledge his art but no one seems to take it seriously.
When Jimmy's father gets angry after Lisa takes him to a poetry reading against his wishes , he removes him from her class and sends him to a different school.
But that doesn't stop Lisa.
