Wow! Another rough day - I guess God knew I needed to be reminded of my blessings when I started this blog. Let's hope that the next 25 days will be a little easier.
Today I am thankful for my student, Emily, who is the editor of my school newspaper. As an publications' adviser (yearbook and newspaper), I often teach students for four years. It has been a blessing to watch Emily mature from a shy student with little self-confidence, to a young lady who excels as a leader.
In the last issue of the paper, Emily wrote an article about the school superintendent's retirement (after interviewing him for 45 minutes before writing the article). Earlier this week I received an e-mail from Roberson congratulating Emily for her well-written article. Today we had a search committee meeting for the new superintendent. Emily attended this meeting both as an interested student and journalist. She participated in the forum and offered her opinion. For a young lady who was so shy, she has come a long way!
So, today I am thankful for Emily, my newspaper editor-in-chief.

I already miss the longevity of those student relationships. Next year, my school switches to a 4x4 schedule (college style). Even less connections, sad.
