When I started at Westlake at the copy center I was trying to get to know all the teachers and chat with them and remember who they were. So many were so nice to me and it was easy to get to know them.
There was one math teacher in particular who would not even look at me but just walk in drop off their copies and come back later to get them. I made it a personal goal of mine to get to know him and better yet to get him to laugh.
Now, I worked on this goal for the whole school year, baby steps and on Friday I did it !!!!!!
On Friday not only did he laugh at something I said, but said something back at me in return that was funny, that went along with what I had said to him, and he had a smile on his face that reached his eyes!
People, my work is done. 4 weeks of school left and I have completed my goal! YEAH!
