the sweetest thing just happened. i had remediation for my juniors this morning, and at the end of it, two of my junior girls were talking to some of my homeroom kids about me. they said that i'm the reason they come to school. ME. i'm the reason two of my wonderful, outstanding girls come to school. they said that they would have dropped out by now if not for me. i almost started crying. it was so incredibly touching. i love my job.
