First Day of School!

I never knew that the teachers could be more nervous than the students. Monday was only a half day but still I knew that I had to make a good, tough impression on these kids or it was only a matter of time until they drive me out of here. I've been told that bees and 8th graders can smell fear and I was determined to fool them all with my confident and strong attitude. Although knowing if I succeeded is still a ways off, one student did raise her hand sheepishly only to ask "Are you a nice guy?". In my head I couldn't help but burst out laughing but it took all my strength to hold it together. All in all, the first day was a success! (I even dressed the part!!)
