Epidemic

Why is it that it seems everything has to be an epidemic with kids? If one student asks to go to the bathroom they all have to pee. If one gets a Kleenex they all need to blow their nose. If one breaks a pencil they all break their pencils. I find it quite funny. I almost play a game with it any more just to see how many "get on the bus." Today I had one kid break their pencil and I think an all time pencil breaking record was set when in one minutes time we went from no broken pencils to 14 broken pencils.

Anyway just one of those random teacher things. I love my kids but they sure are weird. But God has made each and everyone of them to be just who they are. I think the hardest part is knowing what some of these kids have to go through. They are facing things in their everyday lives that I never could imagine having to deal with even now that I am 25. Each one of them are small blessings, even the ones that are the most difficult to deal with everyday.
