That is what I wish & dream for them as well. To know themselves, to love themselves, to be free of standards put on them by others. That is what I wish & dream for them as well.

The mom in Almost Famous says that and it's just about the most precious thing ever. I just applied to Seattle University's Master's in Teaching program to get my secondary education certificate. My boyfriend was just bitching about teenagers and I had that brief moment of thinking, "oh god, what have i done?" when it came out that he was really talking about what a shit head he was in high school. I remember when I first worked with teenagers after not being one for 8 seconds and having a really hard time keeping all my "stuff" from clouding the vision i had for those lovely young people in front of me. It was good. It will be an adventure. And i'm sorely in need of an adventure. I like the last quote. The mom in Almost Famous says that and it’s just about the most precious thing ever.

They are awesome. I tried teaching all different age ranges of kids, and settled into HS as my favorite. I haven't taught for five years, but I still think about my kids. Sometimes I see them on Facebook, and watch as their lives take shapes, and think about the effect that I had on them. It's pretty awesome, in the true sense of the word. I love teenagers.
