can i just say...TO GOD BE THE GLORY

Today is Friday....PTL. During my conference time, I decided to make the long trip downstairs to the teachers lounge and check my mail. This is what I found......(thank you 4th period for taking pictures)...What could it be......

So, once 4th was settled down, I decided to open this package and see what it was all about....The first paper came out and said........"Dear Distinguished Teacher"...so i rechecked the envelope to make sure it was really to me hahahahha

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!!!! ME, little ole freshman art teacher, IS BEING HONORED BECAUSE ONE OF MY FORMER STUDENTS IS GRADUATING IN MAY...with TOP HONORS AND HAS CHOSEN ME AS HER FAVORITE TEACHER FOR HER ENTIRE SCHOOL CAREER!!!!!!!!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY

FOR GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE

SO this was my reaction......

I think it is safe to say that I feel so honored. Being a teacher you go into this job knowing full well that this isn't a "career". It is a lifestyle...A CALLING. As an elective teacher, you know full well that "teacher of the year" will never come your way because you are not a core subject. I am totally ok with all that. I don't teach for the praise...if I did I would have drop this a long time ago. I am just so honored that one of my smart, UT bound, future doctor....has said that I am her favorite teacher of all time. OH FATHER FOR YOU HAVE BLESSED ME TODAY! IT IS AN HONOR TO DO WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ASK OF ME. So now the fun starts because it is formal and I love to dress up!!!!
