I enjoyed your last post. Though it broke me heart too. That poor student sounds like he just gave up on himself... so sad. I think that you are definitely meant to be a teacher if you care this much about the adolescents placed in your life. Not everyone would care like you do, and that it what makes you a great teacher. So don't give up, cause one day someone WILL take your help and see themselves achieve more than they ever thought possible. Good for you for caring AND trying.
I'm a science nerd, a domestic non-diva, and cheesecake connoisseur. Still friends with my ex, constantly sleep deprived, and continually committing to more than my sanity can handle. I love being mom, being crafty, and being just as immature as my 14 year old students.

That's such a good idea! And maybe next year Spencer can help me decorate the eggs. Thanks for the suggestion, very helpful!
