Drew's Best Day Ever

Right after he got the job. Meet Mr. Self!!
His first day of school. Yes I got the size sticker off before he walked out the door :) He's wearing one of his birthday shirts!!

Drew has a JOB!! After 3 interviews at Navasota ISD, one for Pre-K & 2 for a 4th grade position, he was offered a job!! As of 9/8/09 Mr. Self is a 4th grade reading/social studies teacher at Navasota Intermediate. He could not be happier, & neither could I. He said it's like a weight had been lifted & life got easier right away. Of course I screamed, cried & did the happy dance. It is amazing to see him so happy. Now we are trying to get him ready to replace the lady who was in the job & convert her ways & classroom to HIS. He loves the kids & always has a great story when he gets home. This week the class is his by himself & he is on cloud 9. His only complaint is his feet hurt from standing all day long, but we'll get him some better shoes & he'll get used to it. The students seem to love Mr. Self & he has already picked out a couple of kids that he thinks will be his biggest challenge & hopefully reward. It is awesome to hear him talk about the kids as his & the ways he wants to help them personally as well as in the classroom. He is going to be a fabulous teacher!! As I posted on facebook, it's amazing when God's answer to your prayers is a YES!
