Hope. Change.

Wow...  I cannot believe just how happy I am about this school year.  After last school year's mess, it is nice to see someone like my assistant principal take charge and give the students (and teachers) what they need so that learning can happen.  It is amazing to me that the hallways are empty, and that when a student fails all his classes and refuses to go to summer school... they have to repeat the grade.

And when the little things are working out, we get to see each other in different lights.  I have some AMAZING co-workers.  I always knew this about the ones I spent a lot of time with, but there are definitely some that I need to spend more time with.

This year is going to be awesome.  I can just feel it!  I am under the supervision of some wonderful people.  I am going to advise the National Honor Society at my school (hopefully).  And I might be going to DC this year... Interestingly enough, I have been to the capital of China twice... and to DC -- ZERO times.  Sad.  But hopefully that changes.  I am also planning on going to Turkey and possibly Peru this year.  FUN!
