Day 61/Day 21

Lately, I have talked a lot about what the students have been learning. I have talked a lot about it because they are learning a lot.

However, tonight we are going to look through a different lens. Tonight, I am going to write about what I have been learning....because....I too, have been learning a lot.

The phrase, "All you need to know, you learned in kindergarten." is not exactly true!

Friday, was my 60th day on the new job...and my golly goodness, I have learned a lot!

- I have learned that walking to Police and Safety to obtain a parking pass will eliminate the daily parking tickets.

- I have learned how to work without 24 7-year olds calling out your name every 8 seconds.

- I have learned how to send myself an email using the copier.

- I have learned what it is like to work for a boss....that....well...works!

- I have learned how to use an Apple computer (well, kinda)!

- I have learned that my voice mail has an internal and external message...which reminds me, I still need to change my internal message!

- I have learned my way around one of the schools without using a GPS!

- I have learned I do not like the Jeep Patriot.

- I have learned how to read a budget.

- I have learned the importance of keeping receipts and not just tossing them.

- I have learned the importance of documenting my spending.

- I have learned how to drive to Wegmans with my eyes closed! (Just kidding!)

- I have learned that riding a bus can be fun!

- I have learned how to hand out a business card.

- I have learned....I have learned....I have learned, a lot! However, the most important thing I learned.....

- I learned that kids are kids no matter where they live....no matter the school they attend....and that they are capable of doing anything....as long as they are given the opportunity to do so.

Carpe Diem!
