Last night I went to see the movie "Catching Fire" with my son and his friend. It was a nice break from being at home or shopping. Once I was in the theater lobby, some students from my school were exiting from another movie. I initially did not see them, but I heard them calling my name. These seventh graders were excited to see me. I stopped and talked to them about what they did for Thanksgiving, and they all seemed happy it was over and more than willing to share what items they had purchased earlier in the day. Of course, they wanted to know what I was there to see. All of them said I would love the movie, even though some things were different from the book. I jokingly mentioned it was great they paid attention in class because it did not always seem like they were. The students laughed, gave me a high five, and I said we could talk more at school on Monday.
That moment made my day. I was once again reminded of my importance as a role model and what I attempt to help students with is relevant. Sometimes we forget that no matter how large or small our role is within a school, we still impact these young minds.
If you have any interesting moments or stories to share, please leave them in the comments area for others to see. Thank you and have a great weekend!
