For the Love of Students

Last week was a very tough week, we have all had them.  It does not matter if you are a teacher, accountant or an engineer, you are going to have bad days or weeks.  The thing about teaching is we have students.  Students that can challenge us but they also support us, many times without even knowing it. 

Monday I had a conference and I drug myself into school on Tuesday.  Before I even got to the mail room several students stopped me to tell me how happy they were that I was back.  A couple of them even came to give me a hug.  Not what the general public would expect from teenagers.  I headed up to my classroom and a student came in first hour with a thank you card and a loaf of homemade banana bread.  The week has continued that way.  One day a student brought me my favorite candy bar another day a former student sent me a long text about how much she appreciated all the things that I did for her while she was in high school.  So after a rough week last week I look forward to Friday.  Not because it's Friday but because I get to spend the day with these marvelous teenagers who prove everyday that they will make the world a better place!  I love you all!
