Today was one of those days... I had a student come back and talk to me early from lunch. He started by telling me about some drama going on in his life with some of his friends fighting and he's kind of in the middle of it... Typical teenager boy stuff for the most part--although it could escalate I suppose.
But then he told me that he wanted to go to college. In fact, he's got Chapel Hill on his mind. He came to me because he said that I was one of the only teachers who tries to understand where he is coming from. He told me about his step father and mother getting separated and how that hurt him... Then I proposed that I would come up with a plan to help him stay organized and motivated for next semester and beyond, so that he could meet his goal of going to college.
I'm not one of those teachers who wonders why I do what I do very often. But there are those times when I am inspired. Thank you BW!
