Yesterday was phenomenal. A rough day at school after calling parents during class time, had a parent convinced that I was the issue and not their child (ummm...ok.), then I get into my car to drive home in the sleet. As I'm driving, I get the wonderful news that DCPS (DC Public Schools) are on a two hour delay. SO I decide to go hang with frat and friends because already I would get two more hours of sleep in the morning. After eating some great jerk chicken from this Jamaican hole in the wall in DC, and a couple drinks, I go to sleep at 9pm to catch up on much needed sleep. THEN, I wake up at 10pm to find out that schools are CLOSED! My first snow day as a DCPS educator never came at a better time. January is the month of Revelation for great teachers. A new year brings new strategies, more problem solving, and solutions to problems that plagued you during your first half-year of teaching.
I spoke on a panel last week and didn't realize that my face and quotes would appear on the front page of "The Hilltop," Howard University's school newspaper since 1924. It feels good to have my views and talent showcased for thousands to see. After all, I plan on revolutionizing education. Look forward to my blog about the State of The Union Address...which I missed because I was sleep.
As I sit in the Toyota dealership waiting for my car to get serviced, I reflect on how great I feel right now. The weekend approached. My alter ego comes out Friday afternoons, and I look forward to a great weekend of fun. I plan to go home, read, play piano, write more of my book, clean, cook, and work endlessly on how I can make Sean Larry better. Till next time. Grow with me, learn with me, live through me.
