10:33 a.m. - 2008-03-19 The other day I was in my office and I let my last employee leave and he said that the girl in question was in the computer lab (right outside my office) and I thought "Oh please, just stay there." It had been a long day. Two seconds later, I heard her come barreling across the hall - no doubt to ask me to find her another web site or watch her do a tap dance or something. I sighed. She comes in and has this huge pile of construction paper in her arms. She dumps them in my lap and says "Ms. Jessi, we made these for you!" There were all these great drawings and pictures - all of "me" (you cold tell because of the somewhat exaggerated curly hair) in various poses and doing things like typing on my computer, teaching a class, and one that she told me was "you looking out the window to make sure it's safe - no traffic!" Awwwwww. Nothing like that to make you feel like crap for being such a stinker, and also amazing for finally having earned a place in some of these kids hearts. The pictures now grace the walls of my office. |
