I'm kinda excited about this, but I don't want to post it on facebook, so I will share it with you guys.
I have a senior in my FFA chapter that really surprised me today.
This girl, is what we would consider an "at-risk" student. She grew up in some city in Florida, move to a city in Indiana, and then started going to the rural school I teach at. She joined FFA, simply because I apparently am this "Young Cool" teacher. I don't have her in class, but I know she struggles in school.
Anyways, today she came to me and told me thank you for everything I have done. I was a little confused, but then she told me that the field trip I took her on to a local community college for an Ag Expo helped her decide what she wanted to do. She was really excited to tell me that she was accepted into their horticulture program yesterday (this is a kid that some of the teachers thought had no interest in college). I was even more shocked when she told me that if it wasn't for me, she would have had no idea what she wanted to do after high school.
So, even a young dumb person like me can make an impact somewhere.
