Wednesday Tutorials

I have been trying to write this post since Wednesday but I have been so busy with school and grading that I have not had time but today I am making time for it. So let us travel back to Wednesday so I can fill you in on the days events.
Well it all started in the morning. I usually get to school between 7:20 and 7:30 so that if any of my students needs help I can be there. Well one of my students from last year comes into my room sobbing. She walks up to me and I just give her a hug. It turns out her step dad had chewed her out that morning and she just needed someone to talk to. This was huge for me because out of all the teachers she had last year and the ones she has this year I was the one that she picked to come to. Then on Wednesdays we get out a 3:15 and start mandatory tutorials at that time. Well I had only assigned 6 students tutorials and I ended up with almost 20 kids in my room. The funny thing about that was only 7 of those students were my students from this year. I had a bunch of my football guys from last year come to my room just to hang out for a while. I also had three students who I have never had come into my room. One of them said it was because I was the cool teacher. This is the reason I was called to teach. I can see the relationships that God has helped me form with the students. And now to see them come back just to talk or to hang out is a huge blessing. I have a couple of students from last year who will ask to go to the bathroom 8th period but always end up in my class. This is what I want. For these students to know that I care enough about them that at any time during the day that they need me I could be there for them and comfort them if they are hurting. I want them to see Christ love in me. I really love teaching. (Now just remind me of that when I am having a rough day.)
Well sorry that this is almost a week late. I hope that you all enjoyed the Texas vs. Tech Football game on Friday. I know I did but a lot of people here were not to happy about the outcome. Hope all is well on this beautiful Monday. Have a wonderful week.
