Kenny, if yer eyes r closed, how do ya know which is what?
What did I do today? I welcomed one of my 8th grade students back to school today. Most of the school turned out to welcome him back. Dylan has not been in classes since spring break LAST YEAR. On a spring break trip to Dallas he fell ill. Medical tests showed he had leukemia. Dylan has been battling the disease and living through chemo and radiation treatments most of that time. He is a tremendous young man with a heart as big as life itself. I don't know how else to describe it. Instead of getting down and feeling sorry for himself, Dylan tried to comfort his mom and told her it was nothing to worry about. He told her he wouln't let this beat him!
Man! This kid is a true inspiration. Dylan still gets tired easily so he's only in class for 4 periods. He's been doing work at home and sending it to class.
That's what I did today. I'm blessed to have had the chance to spend time with the little tapper. Oh, we were reveiwing for a chapter test in class and he tried to answer every question. He was glad to be there, too!
