ON Nov 22 I was honored at the home opener women's basketball game by my students Raegan Ryan. She is a senior player on the varsity women's basketball team and captain. She is not only an excellent played but a great student. I have had the chance to get to know her this semester in two classes and she chose me as her honorary coach.
She wrote some pretty great things about how I have been intentional in teaching and training and she wants to be like that as a teacher herself. As they were reading these words, I was tearing up and she was saying over and over, "Don't cry, don't cry!" What a sweet girl and a great experience.
I got to be part of the pre-game aspects in the locker room, stand with the coaches, sit on the bench, head in the locker room for half time, and simply be part of what was going on. It made watching the game even more fun.
Thank you Raegan for your kind words and for choosing to honor me on this night. (This was also the night Raegan was awarded for scoring over 1000 points!)
