And now for a good part of teaching
Here are two portraits of me created by my before and after students. Not too bad looking! At least they didn’t make me look like the Stay Puff Marshmallow man with glasses.
See how in the first portrait how I am wearing a sleeveless pink dress? That happens about once every ten years. Very observant! Also, in the second portrait you can see my giant, orange heart. So true, I wear my heart, big and orange, on my chest everytime I teach. :)

The “NO” Boy is the bad side of teaching. But your precious Portrait Artists are why you will get up each school day, with joy in your heart. They will sustain you, uplift you, and help you remember to keep the good and the bad in perspective. Notice they both saw you are having a Big Smile - they are telling you that you are bringing them fun and joy, too. These are the things to remember, to dwell on before you go to sleep at night. These are the moments that make a wonderful career.

Sue–your posts are getting me through a scary transition time. Thank you so much. The last one made me all misty-eyed.
