A trip down memory lane.

One of my favorite stories from teaching happened my first year of teaching.

I was still in a semi-culture shock of coming from a small town to the big city.

Let alone, working in the “hard area” of the city.

One of my girls, Damia’a was constantly reading a book about the Titantic.

Somehow, the conversation turned into how it was based on a true story.

I will never forget the look on this poor girls face when I broke the news to her!

She {in my best street talk}, “Totally flipped out!”

Her heart was broken.

“But, Miss Peare!  How can it be real?  All of the babies?!  They all REALLY?”

“Miss Peare, are you SURE it wasn’t just a movie?!”

Her reaction lasted most of the day.

 I’m pretty sure I broke her heart that day, literally.

It is a day I’ll never forget.

Every time I hear or see anything related to the Titantic, I always think of her.

It is one of my favorite stories to tell.

{However, as I was typing this I realized it is MUCH better in person!}

Today, a co-worker called me first thing this morning to tell me she thought of me.

I was a little nervous because she has crazy dreams that involve co-workers.

But, she thought of me and Damia’a and how I broke her Titantic heart.

 So, here is to the 100th Day of the Titantic and a memory of teaching I’ll never forget!
