"What was the event this past week that most took me by surprise - an event where I saw or did something that shook me up, caught me off guard, gave me a jolt or made me unexpectedly happy?"

What happened in my class this past week made me smile. One of my DES (special ed) students said something for the first time since school started. We had a fun class discussion on the topic of Careers in LPSCS. He walked up to me after class and said "Mr. Curry, I like you and your class!" It almost brought me to tears. I thought he would have never said anything. He doesn't even respond to the roll call. I have to make eye contact with him everyday. This just did something to me and I was glad to share it.
