Tonight I went to a "How to Blog" class. It was taught by Carol. I must admit that she is quite creative in this area. I realized that although blogging is a great way to "keep a journal", it is also something that a person could spend several hours a day doing... Can I find a website that has a few extra hours that no one else is using---FOR FREE! ???
30 days from today the Moving Wall will have arrived and we will have finished with the Opening Ceremonies. It is hard for me to realize how quickly the time from the 2nd of Feb ( the day I received the phone call from the Vietnam Combat Veterans, Ltd.) until today has flown by...
Whew!!!
I found out tonight when I got home how much a part of my student's lives I am...one of my students called me to ask me a question about an upcoming project...(she had called me earlier with some more). This time she sounded upset about something. When I asked her, she told me her dog had just been run over and she was having trouble dealing with it. I told her that her priority at the moment was to do what she needed to with her "dog situation." When she hung up, she told me how much she loved me and said that she knew if she called me, I would make her feel better.
I truly believe that I have been blessed with a special group of students this year because the Good Lord knew that I had a hole in my heart because of the loss of my Sweetheart and i needed to have someone to love and who would love me unconditionally. My students this year are extremely compassionate and eager to learn. I absolutely love going into work everyday because of them...

You do have a special talent when it comes to working with your students and I'm sure they appreciate the bijillons of extra things you do. But, as a word of caution, just remember that there is a line that shouldn't be crossed between your school life and your personal life. Be sure that you seek out adult company and cultivate those friendships with your colleagues.
And glad you enjoyed the blogging class. I'm always glad to share what little bit I know.
