Class T-Shirt

If you haven't noticed, the club/class related t-shirt is gold to a high school student. There has been lots of talk over the past few years for our classes to have their own shirt. Finally folding, no pun intended, to the project, I began planning with some of my upper level students. When the design of the t-shirt came up, they said they'd like the back of the shirt to feature funny phrases/terms/situations that have come up throughout our year of Broadcast/Video Production. I shrugged and told them that if that's what they wanted, and everything remained appropriate, that would be fine. They began making a list on a whiteboard right outside of my office. Over the past week or two, the list on the board has grown to well over 50 quotes. Every time I walk by the board to go into the office, something on there catches my attention and makes me either smile, or, laugh out loud. During this hectic time of year, something as simple as remembering a clever anecdote a student made can make such a difference. All the experiences I've had teaching cannot fit onto that board, but the short list my students have created sums up so many of the positive things I feel about teaching. Being young, and a "newlywed", people often ask when I plan on having kids. I smile and tell them that I have a few hundred already.
