Why I feel proud....

I think what I feel most proud of in this week was how my students came out in numbers that I couldn’t have imagined to help with this weeks homecoming events. I guess I was proud because I felt like the students really showed commitment and a willingness to help to the extent that some of them had their parents bring them to the school as early as 6:30 a.m. Quite honestly I was surprised to see students that I had not expected to show up be there early. A few were students that really haven’t been participators in class or seem not to be interested in the class at all. By their showing up, it gave me an opportunity to see their potential and interact with them one on one. Also, after expressing my shock to some of the other teachers, several of them told me that it was a good sign and that if they didn’t think that I was a half way decent teacher they would have still been home in their beds. So, that made me proud in addition to the fact that they just did an awesome job. They showed professionalism and leadership and teamwork and I was just proud and all of their abilities were highlighted in the fact that the event was a success.
