Very often I get in discussions with other adults who are mystified that I can spend day in and day out with teenagers. They say, "Aren't they weird. Don't they make you crazy? or You poor thing, I could never do that." I always respond with, "I'm the luckiest person. I'm fortunate that I get to spend my time with intelligent, funny, dedicated, spunky, thoughtful teenagers."
I remember at the end of last year when I was coming up with the summer project for the new AP 2-D students (that's you!), and I decided that you would take 1000 pictures. I worried about that number. Was it too many? Would you guys freak out? Would you be able to actually take that many pictures? Was I pushing you too hard? I should have known better than to worry. Lakeridge students NEVER cease to amaze me. I mean it. Where else could you raise the bar and have ALL your students rise to the occasion.
I was in art teacher heaven on Wednesday! Surrounded by students who care, who love learning and don't mind when their crazy art teacher pushes them a little bit. I think you all secretly like it. Alright, don't let this McBride love fest go to your head! Be good and work hard. Your off to a great start.
