First One!

I figure that even if no one reads this, it's exciting to get my thoughts and experiences written down for memories' sake.  So here we are - the first one of its kind - a blog by Candace:

Teaching high schoolers at the ripe-old-age of 26 can be a little daunting at times.  Luckilly, I have a sense of humor and am able to see the joy and fun experiences that come with being a teenager, even if it does drive me a little crazy once in a while!  Some of my favorite "funny" things students have said recently:

As we were correcting a misspelled word ("missunderstanding," which needed to be corrected to "misunderstanding"), W asked, "Which 's' in missunderstanding do we eliminate?"

C said, "I'm always late to class because I'm fat and it takes me a long time to get here."  (Not true, by the way.)

And, when asked to write an essay on a life-changing event, H wrote: "The First Time I Tried Carls Jr.'s Western Bacon Cheeseburger."

There will surely be MANY more to follow...
