In addition to handing out awards for perfect attendance, academics, sports, and character (for the students), the school honors its volunteers and teachers. Volunteers drive the kids on field trips, to and from all the sporting events and programs, serve in the school office, assist teachers, make lunches, help raise funds, and teach some classes. The list is endless.
This year I was one of those volunteers. My job was to teach technology to the elementary (1st-6th) and music to everyone (1st - 12th). My parents have been laughing at me (yes, you have) all year. You see, three of my four parents were teachers; two of them - my mom and my dad - were band directors. Well, I became a business major because I knew I couldn't be a teacher (not enough patience), much less a music teacher.
But, it would seem, as evidenced by a pile of Thank You notes from all my students, that I am, indeed, a music teacher. Not only that, it turns out that being a music teacher is a...SUPERPOWER! Who knew?
