Recognition

I know, two posts in one day. Try not to get too excited.

So, as mentioned before, my year is going great. Almost too good to be true. I know that this cannot possibly last. There is a student who may be moving from middle school to high school next year that all the teachers regard with a shudder. You know, that kid. I will have a spot open next year, so I've already resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to get him.

I was mentioning this fact to one of my teacher friends, one who has been there waayy longer than my five years.

She looked at me and said, "you know what? If he came to your room, you'd have no problems with him. You would get him under control in no time."

This comment meant a lot to me. It's funny, I've had a few other kids that I dreaded getting because of behavior problems, and they turned out to be some of my favorites and rarely causing any trouble.

It's nice to get recognized for my efforts.

Not that I'm in any hurry to change my dream of a classroom. Let's save that particular challenge for next year, okay?
