Two is a lonely number, never!

Last night it was an SB Jetta night with two passengers meeting at the park and ride. With other impalas on vacation, working or driving themselves it was just angela and marisa this week. Now normally two might be a lonely number but never with the SBV group. It started out with PDA action at the park and ride. Luckily angela arrived shortly after I did and we could leave but have you ever heard the term, "get a room?" That is what this couple should have done instead of frightening poor runners just trying to get to their workout. Moving on... lively discussions in the car of our lives and well just how exciting they are! Arrived in a timely manner to the track and luckily it did not rain on us, yeah! Managed to bust out some decent workouts and then settled in for a nice ride home. Amoung our topics of discussions we chatted about our next bookclub meeting and what we should do (we are thinking bowling!). It was good to catch up with Angela and it was a treat for me to drive our faithful SBV driver for a change.

WHAT TEACHERS MAKE

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?" He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." To stress his point he said to another guest;

"You're a teacher, Susan. Be honest. What do you make?" Susan, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, You want to know what I make?

I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I make a C+ feel like the winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence.
"You want to know what I make?
I make kids wonder.
I make them question I make them criticize.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them write.
I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in math and perfect their final drafts in English.
I make them understand that if you have the brains, and follow your
heart, and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, must
pay no attention because they just didn't learn.
Susan paused and then continued. "You want to know what I make?
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE. What do you make?

Happy International Women's Day!
