Poems

I love my job (most days). There are days when the students drive you crazy and you wonder why you went into this profession. But then a student will make a comment that melts your heart or write you a poem like the one below and you can't be mad at them anymore.

Here's the most recent poem:

Ms. Marsh
Funny and Nice but that's just the start.
Here's how you learn about the amazing Ms. Marsh.
She's talented, funny and loves every kid.
I can tell you this is no fib.
I love her and I think she's cool.
I think she should rule the school.

This poem might be up there with one of my other favorite comments. "No, Ms. Marsh, I've already had the best day ever. The best day ever was the day I met you." This was after I'd had a serious talk about how he needed to change the way he was acting at school and behavior more appropriately at school. I told him he could make it the best day ever.

*Note- This is the same child that wanted to kill me earlier this year and literally hit me several times during one of their fits.
**Note - When she brought me this poem, she told me she wrote it so I could get a boyfriend. I really think my students are way too obsessed about my current single state.

That's sweet! I bet that makes your job worthwhile :) Gosh you have apparently been hit hard with weddings...hopefully there's lots of great food! Also I couldn't help but laugh at all the dating advice from your students. They sound fun. Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend.

I love this post - I love the ** since students seem to love and hate you without too much reason and since they get overly obsessed about your life. This past week a girl came in and said, "Miss Hutchins, I found your husband. He's subbing for my math class...." A few hours later, when I saw her again, "Miss Hutchins, did you go walk by your future husband's classroom?" She seemed surprised that I hadn't already begun making out with him in the hallway that afternoon....happy end of the year!

Bree's Back and She's Better then Ever!

Bree and I have been friends for a while now. Our friendship began when we were roommates at BYU after meeting our freshmen years (over a decade ago!). She just returned home from serving a mission in Spokane, Washington and it had been a long time since I'd seen her. We've shared some fun times together over the years and I couldn't wait to see her again. * As a side note* I love Bree and think she's amazing. She can sing, play the guitar, piano and drums, and she writes her own songs (even has her own CD). She wrote me a song years ago! She's also amazing at any sports she plays, especially frisbee though. In addition to this, Bree is just so fun to hang out with. So Bree invited me to come up and join her for her first YSA dance after the mission. Since, I love YSA dances ( I actually can't stand them...i really just love Bree), I said I would go. So, after work on Friday, I dressed up and drove 2 hours up to York, PA. This dance had to be one of the most ...

I'm Worth a Grand More and Pounds Less

I did it!!! I went the whole year of 2008 without eating sugar! At the end of last year, my mom challenged anyone in my family to go the year without eating sugar. Now when I say "no sugar", I don't mean nothing. I mean no sweets, candy, cookies, etc. I ate fruits and other items with minimal sugar (for example - Cold cereals with 6 grams or less). I also had 3 days were i could "cheat". So what was my motivating factor? $1,000 and the thrill of a challenge . I'm not one to pass up a challenge or a dare. My mom offered to pay $1,000 to anyone that completed the challenge. Though most people thought I was crazy, I wanted to prove I could do it. During the first couple of months it was really hard to give up the enticing sweets and goodies offered to me on a daily basis. My dreams even began to manifest my desire to eat candy, as I was sneaking bites of candy and licks of lollipops all night. I'd wake up thinking I'd ruined the deal but then the rea...

Kansas City Temple Dedication

I have this fabulous friend that lives in Manhattan, Kansas going to Kansas State University. I have been really wanting to visit her for some time and I finally made it happen! The Kansas City Temple was going to be dedicated the first weekend in May and so what better time for me to come out. Friday Night, we went to a Jamaican restaurant in Manhattan. (Yes, they had one there...not expecting that!) You really felt like you were in Jamaica until you stepped out of the restaurant and realized you were in Manhattan, Kansas. After dinner, we went for a walk in Aggieville. The hang out olace in town. Yes, it was only 3 blocks long. We got ice cream sandwiches from Cold Stone. They were delicious and spent some time at one of the local bars until I got too tired and we decided to call it a night. Saturday Morning, we went walking around her neighborhood. The weather was amazing! Then we headed back to Kansas City for the cultural event. Along the way we...
