June 7, 2013 Doughnuts for the Juniors

 One of the pleasures of my job as a teacher is that I am often able to work with the same students for several years. This allows me to watch them develop from immature ninth graders into confident, caring, and bright upper class men. Today I said goodbye to my juniors. We have shared much over the past three years, and they know our bond is strong. They were delighted to see the doughnuts on the edge of my desk today, and these treats vanished quickly. These students have left their mark on me and I hope I have made a difference in their lives, as well.
