drama . . .

life is full of it. some good; some bad, but into every life a little rain must fall. my rain, right now, is losing my 8th graders! i have had them since my first year teaching at GACS, and tonight we had a banquet to close out our time.

i call them my drama babies, but they are not so babyish anymore. where does the time go? one minute they are tiny; then they aren't. i don't know how parents do it.

i love my drama babies, and i always will. i will love others, but these will hold a special place in my heart. in a sense, i have grown up with them, as they have grown up with me. i was a young teacher, frightened to death, and they made it a little less scary. now, i am still young, but more experienced and confident, and i think that they are too. and some of that is me in them. we are a part of eachother and that will always be. man, sometimes, i love being a teacher. well, i won't keep you, just wanted to share some thoughts.

shakespeare - all the world is a stage, and the men and women merely players.

we are all players on the stage, and the play is a drama, comedy, or tragedy, but we play our parts the best we can. i want my drama babies to play their parts to the fullest and to shine.
