. . . for Lauren and Lauren: You're growing on me

May 1, 2012

You're growing on me


 
pants: loft  shoes: kohls  shirt: old navy cardigan: maurices 

Although the stresses of school can easily get to me, especially at the end of the year, I am thankful for stories like these that remind me why I love my job. 

The other day a student was helping me "inspect" students' passports as we did a simulation of what it might have been like for immigrants coming to America.  Despite a student's missing information on his passport, I let him go through because he looked overly nervous and I didn't want to make him cry. 

When he walked away I said to my student helper that I thought I'd let that one slide by because I was feeling extra nice. 

She leaned over to me and said, 
"Mrs. Vale, you're really starting to grow on me." 

With only a month left of school, I guess it's about time.

That is such a cute story...she probably heard her parents say that about someone and picked it up so don't feel bad she just said it at the end of the school year. hehe. Kids are so funny. I just found your blog and I really like your style. It's very put together and comfortable too
