So, as some of you know, I teach English at a Middle School. Today was the second day of school and they had an assembly for the 7th and 8th graders on character education. They had this guy come to speak to them...he's a professional bicycle stunt rider who also goes around talking to kids in schools about bullying and belileving in yourself....that sort of thing. So he was riding around the gym, showing them stunts and talking to them about being better people...they loved it. Towards the end of the assembly, he asked for some teachers to volunteer....(uh oh) so, there two make teachers volunteer , and then he says he needs one more...so the kids in the bleachers start chanting MY name . Of course, I am one of the younger teachers, and I was not wearing a skirt today as most of the other female teachers were...so I went for it...thinking it would be doing something silly and easy.
I WAS WRONG!!!! I had to lie down on the floor while this maniac jumped over us on his bike!!! It was the strangest thing I have ever done!!! Of course, it went fine, and he made it over us....but how crazy is that?
When I woke up this morning...that was the last thing I would have thought I'd be doing!!!
And of course, I thanked all of the kids who chanted my name
