Honor

I was going to write a nice, normal entry about the job interview I had this afternoon, but first I took a detour to do some homework for my SPED classes. We had to write about the role(s) of the SPED teacher.

I found myself writing about the teacher's need for courage and compassion, to do what's best for a child who is struggling with academic and/or behavioral problems. As I wrote, I realized that many of the same qualities that led me to love Dave so much led me to this choice of career path.

I feel as if I am honoring his memory by becoming a special education teacher.

Enough said.
