I've been tired lately. And yes. A little depressed. So when I looked at my calendar yesterday and remembered I'd agreed to speak to a group of students at Granger High School, I immediately berated myself for saying yes.
Well.
I ended up having SUCH an extraordinarily pleasant experience--one of my best school visits ever. The students were just so engaged. So interested. So nice. And a lot of them had even read the book we were discussing--THE LOSER'S GUIDE. I cannot tell you how rare it is for students to have read the book you're discussing.
I just want to give those guys and their teachers a great big HUGE shout out for being so terrific. Thank you. And thank you again.
Good to know my alma mater can still represent--and cheer a friend.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I might just go read it again today because it will make me happy!
ReplyDeleteI am so cheered by this story. Yay Granger and Yay you!
ReplyDeletebtw, thrilled to find out this bit of info from radagast. I am assembling a dossier.
That is great. Honestly, during my most grief stricken days, the only thing that got me out of bed was to go teach/coach. If it wasn't for that, I never would have moved.
