Quote of the Day
“I don’t know if I’ve ever told you this directly, but I think you’re one of the most important people at our school, in terms of how you interact with the kids and do what you do. I want you to be excruciatingly happy here.”
– My boss
Seriously … can you think of something more encouraging to hear from your jefe? And I don’t think it’s just lip-service … I was just offered the opportunity to develop a program that is really in line with where my heart is here at school (with actual compensation) and given the freedom to marginalize some of the mundane things that often weigh this job down.

Lance that’s so awesome!
I was actually thinking after my niece and I ran into you at the put put place about how you interact with people, and especially how I’ve seen you interact with kids her age. I think it’s great how you really take the time to see them, really see them in a way that lets them know they matter. It makes such a difference and sometimes (maybe more often then not) you won’t hear about it from them. I know that I had a few adults that saw me that way when I was a teenager and it really changed my life in ways I couldn’t articulate for a very long time.
Congrats on being able to move into working more on your passion!

Yeah … we taught together and were roommates for two years. How do you know him?
