Week 24: Dedicating

Robert Hughes, former Notre Dame football player, speaking to our kids :-)

This week has been full of:  Our students' Dedication Ceremonies, new rotations with the Juniors so working with Ms. B, interviewing with Jewan for a position next year.


Quotes of the week: 
"I dedicate my hard work this year to Ms. Lewis, because she's been helping me out a lot this year... because she pushes me to work hard...." - A few of my freshmen at our Dedication Ceremony <3

"Ms. Lewis, tell her what I made my dedication to!" - D, a freshmen, proudly in the background while I was chatting with her mom on the phone.


"It's not about the cars and the money, it's about what's on the inside... things were hard when my brother died, but I had a goal..." - Robert Hughes came to speak at our school, a former Notre Dame football player currently being drafted who grew up near my students (woohoo to Andrea for setting it up!)

"PITW #300: Take your lacy plan seriously." - Apparently a random guy flashed this handwritten sign to some other corps members at a bus stop.  So funny.

"Stand tall." - Ran into Paula, my former professor/current mentor, on the train back from Michigan

Joys: Watching Hannah ribbon dance.  Running into a student at the bus stop on his way from a doctor's appointment, holding his little baby boy wrapped up in a blanket... he seemed so mature and responsible, a proud daddy, 15 years wise.  <3
