yesssssss(in the words of Napoleon)
Today was just fabulous. I was introducing myself this morning to a new student and began to attempt my best at casual conversation. So after I was done asking 101 questions she asks me a question. A question that would make my day maybe even my week (yes its that good.)
scenario-
Jess: so what grade are you going to be going into?
Student: 7th, how about you what grade are you going into?
Jess: sudden overflow of joy( i feel old and run down sometimes based on what i see in the mirror, maybe my view is thwarted)
i didn't really know how to respond at first, i wanted to give a sarcastic answer that i would have thought would be funny. Then I thought to myself 1st , shes new, period. 2nd I don't think she would have appreciated the humor.
Anyways glad to share this one with you guys.

I love it!!!! I also appreciate the discernment in your response. God blessed you through the eyes of a student and I too see his youthful joy in your presence.
