Great start to the morning. Not. Husband coughed all night for the 6th night in a row, son #1 woke up with conjunctivitis, son #2 up through the night and very tired from asthma - no school for him today, daughter moaning about bung knee. And, ... I'm fine. Got everyone sorted. Got dinner into the slow cooker, casserole out of oven for my friends family (just had surgery). Off to school.
Struggling with disengaged students. Like pulling teeth. Exhausting. Anyway - made it through the day.
Bright spot was 17 yr old student comes up to me during the day asking if I would look at a letter that they are writing applying for scholarship for next year. The letter outlines their dreams and tells their story. Very sad - involving a parent's tragic death when student was little, the extended family trying to look after the 3 little kids (now 19-14). I encouraged student. Will take a look at it and do some homework on who they should apply for scholarship. Seems that there must be lots for maori students. Student is such a positive beautiful polite well-spoken person. They HAVE to get a scholarship. So this will be another job for me for the weekend!!
I'm quite exhausted tonight but still have lots to do this evening to be ready for tomorrow. 5 and half more weeks till the holidays. Can't wait.
Back to work ....
