Another reason why
I had such a cute experience today at school. One of my freshman boys stayed after school to ask me about asking out a girl. I never ever ever would have had that conversation with any one of my teachers. I would have died protecting myself from the awfulness of that situation. He didn't go to his mom or his coach or his male history teacher. (As a mom, I hope my son finds someone like me if he needs that.) It's a tiny piece of evidence that in spite of being so tired I can barely form sentences anymore (I have only had more than five hours of sleep in one night out of the last 11 [info. thanks to my fitbit that wakes me up silently every morning]), I am doing at least some of my job well. Somehow I'm the person a 15 year old football player goes to when he wants to talk. I would say, "What did I do to deserve such a great job?" but I know only too well what I do to deserve it. So I guess I'll just say that sometimes its worth the price I pay. I had ten minutes of totally worth it today.
