As a freshman at SVC, I’m a bit of a newbie to the education program and wasn’t 100% sure what to expect from the classes I’ve encountered so far. I knew that because I want to be a high school English and/or Spanish teacher that I was going to start observing middle school and high school classrooms during my field classes, but I never expected how amazing it was going to be!

So, I got to cover 6th-grade lunch today (mind you I don’t know any of these kids because I’ve never covered this lunch before), and this happened:
A small sixth-grade girl comes bounding, literally bounding, up to me. She’s got a cold sore in the left corner of her mouth, and her arms are just a little too long to fit her torso. They flop at her sides as she runs like she meant to glue her arms in their entirety to her sides, then ran out of glue after finishing just the upper parts. But her eyes were the brightest in the whole cafeteria, and the light made them sparkle just as she jumps and lands in front of me and excitedly asks, “What’s your name?”
