this?”
    “Indeed you will.  We are out of time for today, but tomorrow we will begin the practicum. The practice rooms are the only place you are allowed to use your powers while here at the Academy.  We will go there together as a class tomorrow.  Please read the remainder of the chapter tonight and come back prepared to try it out.  You are excused.”  As soon as Angel Walter got the words out of his mouth the bells chimed.  Unlike the blaring of the school bell on Earth, this bell sounded like church bells, a sweeter more heavenly sound.
    I walked with my new friends along the golden pathway lined with perfectly trimmed hedges and sweet smelling flowers of all colors and varieties; some varieties of flowers I hadn't ever seen before.  We walked toward our second hour class, Controlling the Elements.  I watched in awe as the upper classmen floated effortlessly by, not on the path but in the sky.
    “Don't you guys wish we could fly like that?” Felix asked.
    “Yeah, it’s much quicker than walking,” I said.
    “It looks a lot more fun than walking, too,” Kevin said, looking up at the passing angels.
    We entered an ornate building with golden spires on top.  As I entered the lobby of the vast building, I could see a staircase winding up to the second floor.  Green-robed angels walked up the staircase.  Other angels floated up.  The lobby contained a few chairs and couches which were occupied by freshmen.  Other students were float-sitting in the room and the walls were adorned with beautiful paintings.  A large skylight filling almost all of the ceiling, opened to the view of the heavens.  We walked down the hall, looking at the room numbers as we passed each room.  Finally, we found room number seventy-six.
    Professor Angel Addison, a red-head with sparkly blue eyes had her hair tied back in a white ribbon adorned with many sparkly jewels.  The bodice and hem of her gown were covered in pearls.  She stood by the door and welcomed us in.  “Good day and welcome to Controlling the Elements 101.”
    After greeting everyone, and we were all seated, she floated to the front of the room and float-sat comfortably in the air in front of the class.
    “I believe this will be one of the most useful classes you will take,” she stated after everyone was seated.
    “There will be many times when you will find that you will need to control the elements to save an assignment’s life.  Why, just the other day I used it to save a young college student from a crash.  His car was at an intersection and he thought it was his turn to go, but as he was entered the intersection, another vehicle came zooming through.  I put the brakes on quickly in the other vehicle using methods of Controlling the Elements and both cars swerved, but they missed each other.  It was not either person’s time to go.”
    Journey raised her hand.
    “Yes, Angel Journey?”
    “Are you still a working Guardian Angel?”
    “Yes, I’m a part-time teacher and part-time Guardian Angel.  I have more hours to put in as a Guardian Angel.”
    “Oh, I see.”
    “Please take out your textbooks and turn to Chapter One,”  Angel Addison began.  “Who would like to read first?”
    A girl in the front row raised her hand.
    “Amanda, go ahead.”
    I was amazed at how each teacher knew every student’s name.  But they were Guardian Angels and knowing names came with the territory.
    “Chapter One.  You must not only concentrate your mind and thoughts toward the action at hand, but you must use the forces of nature.  Wind can be summoned to push down a car’s brake.  Sunshine can heat up something.  Water is a powerful source.  But whatever you do, you must focus on helping the person.  Any selfish thoughts or desires will cancel out all of your efforts.”
    “Thank you for reading, Amanda.  I would show you how it is done, however, our powers do not work that way.  If we do not have a guardian angel cause, we have no power.
