Showcase of Stars REVEAL!!!

It is the BEST feeling when you receive

a SHOWCASE OF STARS Invitation!!!

Then you spend weeks and weeks wondering

who chose you for such an amazing honor!

Midway does this up right...

the top 50 students get to choose

their most influential teacher to honor

at the Showcase of Stars Event.  

The only downside to this is that unless

 you teach the TOP students, 

you might not ever get chosen.  

I just happen to have taught Pre-AP

two years ago so I knew it was

someone from one of those English

classes that I taught.  

When I showed up for the 

BIG REVEAL, the lady in charge

told me to say my student's name

pretty quickly so that way she will

know that I did remember my 

student's name.  I guess this has

happened before.  Well, when I walked

in there was no wondering if I knew

my student's name...I screamed 

JAKE!!!!!!!!!!!  This young man was

one of my very favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so surprised and honored

that he chose ME!!!!!!!!!!!

He and his sweet mom even had

beautiful flowers for me:)

Jake was also so proud to tell me that

day that he had officially chosen 

A&M and that he was an invited 

walk-on to the football team.  

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This event is so fun!  I loved seeing

some of my other favorite former students

and the teachers they chose.  

SUCH.an.HONOR!!!!!

Next is waiting for the 

big event in May!!!!!!!!!!!
