OK. I think I'm ready. School starts on Tuesday, and yes, I am ready to get going. I really do dig my job.
Alex's freshman football team at Adams is 1-1. Couldn't finish the first game agains Clarkston, but ran away with yesterday's game against Farmington.
The Makos are 0-2. It's been a rough start but the kids are working hard for the most part, and the ones that aren't, are now beginning to learn what hard work is.
The Red Hawks are 1-0 with a big game against Pontiac tonight. I really think they're going to have a great season.
All of that said, it's time to start school. I'm really looking forward to seeing the students again. I just got a text message from one of my favorite students, and a former player asking if she could observe my class to fulfill a requirement for on of her teacher education classes at Oakland. What a thrill. That's my bonus. It doesn't come in the form of a check or a new car. It's just a great feeling when a kid tells you that you did a good job and that they appreciate what you've done for them. Those are the bonuses that I get. I love it.
It's time. Let's get started
