This is the first story of the hood teacher podcast. My name is Ms D. I have been working in education for 15 years. I have been a teacher, a substitute teacher. and now  a student support specialist.  The stories are true, the names, places, and stories were changed slightly to protect the people in the story. This story is about two girls and their realizations that they were being played by their boyfriend and future D1 basketball player.  The question that I always had about this was did they fall in love with him or his potential.
