The students had written their own books, created t-charts, illustrated diagrams, found jokes and researched a topic over which they were passionate. Rich and relevant, their learning and the excitement for it could not be contained.
Their teachers stood back, watching, beaming as these young adults greeted parents and administrators with a handshake and bold enthusiasm for the event.
I met each student, listened intently to their topics, laughed at many of the jokes and walked away reminded why I was called to this profession.
