Honored as Teacher of the Year

This past Thursday evening was the Founder's Day Banquet, where I was honored for being the Teacher of the Year for my building. While I generally don't like having a fuss made over me, it was really nice being recognized for the time and energy I put in professionally. A few of my closest friends attended the banquet to show their support, as well as my building principal. Although a little lengthy at times, it was a great evening; and, having people I care about there made the evening even more special.

A Stressful Day at School

After a morning of helping break up fights, rumors of weapons being brought to the school in the afternoon, and the fire alarm sounding as the final bell rang, I decided to stop at the nearby grocery to purchase a few stress relievers.

Note: The M&M's were opened before being purchased...and a small bag just wasn't enough.
