Counting Down

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
