I hope you'll do it too, because you have MANY talents worth affirming: you're creative, caring, conscientious, and fun to be around--and those are only the first 4 characteristics that come to my mind. Hang in there; spring is just around the corner for both you and your students. :-)Carmela Martinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543808551988338496noreply@blogger.com
