Although around here it's more like don't get suspended the first day of school You think I jest.<BR/><BR/>A friend of my step daughter's, her brother and friend got suspended for 9 days their first day of school for having pocket knives. That's appalling and not uncommon in the rural schools here...<BR/><BR/>Glad you got to be a teacher. I thought about being a teacher but decided I liked working for teachers in administration more. ;)Killlashandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655705881605627747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-4909617746429692712008-08-20T18:49:00.000-04:002008-08-20T18:49:00.000-04:00He's stupid, that's all I gotta say!He's stupid, that's all I gotta say!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424614807680121934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-68076776340116478192008-08-20T18:47:00.000-04:002008-08-20T18:47:00.000-04:00I went to college late too.

Even to this day I feel a sense of antisipation when school is starting. It's a sort of excitement that I cannot explain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-11172257969499961622008-08-20T16:59:00.000-04:002008-08-20T16:59:00.000-04:00You must have been very happy to be able to do wha...You must have been very happy to be able to do what you had wanted to do and had a chance to be with your children until they were older. <BR/>I remember my first day in kindergarden! I was there with my best friend Vera. Vera had these little white shoes that did look like baby's shoes as I recall. She didn't want to be in school and children were being mean to her because of her shoes. I remember sitting next to her as we sat in a circle and she was crying and I was trying to console her. I think because I was trying to look after poor Vera I didn't have a chance to feel anxiety on my own part.<BR/>I do remember those butterfly feelings all the other years though...anticipation and apprehension.<BR/><BR/>I saw that video on the news. They were saying they warn people of this and that during a hurricane and now they have something else to add to it. What a guy..what WAS he thinking of?<BR/><BR/>Hope you've had a good day.<BR/><BR/>I like your awards... *s*..

I was always nervous the first day of school as a student. I never realized that the teachers were nervous, too, until I did my student teaching. I thought it was just me. :)daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168831819807523569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-47794795129613071802008-08-20T09:23:00.000-04:002008-08-20T09:23:00.000-04:00Oh my goodness, what a moron!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been working at my school for 18 years. This is the beginning of the 19th year for me. I also got my degree later and my job later than most. I have friends a few years older than me who are retiring. I still have another 15 (?) to go. It's all good with me. I love my job!<BR/><BR/>take care,<BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510889733755294128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-74412694800496432662008-08-20T06:10:00.000-04:002008-08-20T06:10:00.000-04:00It's nice to hear of a childhood dream being as wo...It's nice to hear of a childhood dream being as wonderful as you expected! Oddly enough, I don't remember my first day at any of my schools. I do have lots of happy memories though. I think I'll always miss high school a little bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
