I’ve been thinking a lot today about my first couple of weeks teaching in Colorado. I was with a close knit group of high school seniors whose favorite teacher had left and they were none to happy someone was taking her place.
The reason I think about that today is because we heard there was something happening on the news and like all the other classes, we turned on the TV. We sat together as we watched the news and the attacks on 9-11.
It was sad and it was scary, but it was good to be together and be able to talk about what we were seeing. I think it was as good for me to be able to talk with the kids as it was for them.
We remember and we thank all those first responders and others who stepped up and put their own lives at risk to save others. There is more that unites us than divides us.
