Three amazing students.

Well, in all honesty all of my students are amazing.  Yeah, they HATE keeping these blogs but I like learning more about each of them. Some are hilarious, some are inspiring, some are fascinating.

And of course, with me being a Mom, some of them freak me out. 

• Ronnie, who goes running at 10PM, to stay in top shape for baseball season.  He is SUPER dedicated to baseball.  I admire his perseverance.
• Nicole who "got" to go to catholic school (while I think I "had" to go) & who has been to Italy FIVE TIMES!  She realizes how lucky she is in her life and is very thankful. I admire her honesty & love for her family.
• Steve is probably the one student who really blew my mind.  His openness about his struggles were incredible (not easy for guys to express themselves - ask Neil).  O.K., I joked that his blog was super long, but it was very inspiring.  Steve hit "rock bottom" & instead of reaching for a drug to help him, he helped himself.  He has come so far in such a short time. I am so excited for him & his future! And I am so grateful he had the courage to share his story.

I am thankful for all of my students. They make me laugh, they teach me new things and they let me into their lives.  I am super lucky to have an AWESOME group of students who are succeeding & realizing their dreams.
