As I sit here and type at the computer on a friday afternoon... I am exhausted... no, not from running 10 miles, not from belly dancing (popular dance over here), not even from running for busses... but simply from teaching! Yep, who would have thought that teaching would take so much out of you! I have so much more appreciation for all of those teachers that I had in grade school. Mr. Sirl, I'm sorry for being late to every drama class I ever had. Mrs. Helgeson, I used Cliff notes on almost everything... and yes Mr. Payne, I confess... I did pass notes and whisper my way through marketing class. There I said it, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I am appreciating you all even more today than yesterday! What goes around comes around and as most of you are enjoying your retirement... I am experiencing the joys of teaching!

Hey Shantra! This is Shannon; I met your friend Kelly. Very nicely written. I understand completely. Now that I'm a teacher, I often wonder about the kind of student I was.
