Things don't blow me away that easily but this one did!!!  A student (I found out later who it was) took the time to nominate me for the Student Appreciation Award that is facilitated through Ignite, our student federation.  Up until this point, I did not even know it existed. When I got the invitation to attend this evening, I had tears streaming down my face. Once gain, thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to write this beautiful expose on me as a teacher.  I cannot express my gratitude with enough words!
