Teaching is a calling. I have grown up hearing people say they wished they had written down all of the experiences they had in the classroom over the years. I decided to embark on the crazy journey of education and decided to take you along!

shoulder injury
* So I have this kid in class...... He was injured this fall during wrestling season and hurt his shoulder. He came to class for two or three weeks with his arm in a sling. When I noticed that the sling had been on a while I asked him what the doctor's diagnosis was. He said that he was waiting on an MRI to know for sure. I asked what they were doing for him in the meantime. He said that they had given him a few shots. I asked what kind of shot. I fully expected him so say something like a pain reliever or cortizone or something like that. That is NOT what he said. He said they gave him a shot of Midol. I did NOT laugh like I wanted to. I simply asked if he was sure. He assured me he was correct. I told him I was fairly certain that they had not given him a shot of Midol, could it be something else. He thought for a minute and started chuckling. He said, "Ha, that's not right. They gave me a shot of Armour All!" This time I did burst out laughing. I said I was POSITIVE that he did not get a shot of Armour All. I told him to go home and find out what Midol and Armour All are and then he would see why that was funny. The next Monday he came to class bearing the only Christmas present I have received as a teacher. His mom had made the BEST homemade salsa but there was a second bag..... inside I found a box of Midol and a bottle of Armour All !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
