Some days my students just are really funny and make me smile a good bit. Today was one of those days. During first block, I told them about my free cone from Bruster's for wearing PJs and they got onto me for not telling them about it. They honestly were upset I didn't tell them! They looked at me like I was their best friend who had forgotten to tell them the best secret of my life. It was so funny--I laughed and then told them about where I get my super saving money insider information--southernsavers.com. They all wanted to check it out! It was just too cute. But in the end, reflecting on this, I am happy that maybe I am setting a good example to them of looking for deals and being wise with the money I get. They know I work hard and now they definitely know how much I hate to waste money. For teenagers this really is something important to learn but I know we are not all taught this important life skill.
My second block class had a few girls who were also so sweet to me today and complimented me on my outfit! Three girls within like three minutes. I know this sounds silly but it is even nice coming from 15 year old girls that you did a good job at 5:30 in the morning dressing yourself! :) It is little things like that that truly do make someone smile and make a day a "better" day. I try to this, especially for the girls I teach, when they walk in. Today I told someone who got highlights how much I like them and I could see her light up. It reminded me how much girls especially at that age need that and how EASY it is to make someone have a better day.
