Beer Flight
My first year in the Chicago area I was an Inclusion Assistant for two first grade students. After hearing my friends' horror stories of their times as a teaching assistant, I feel very fortunate to have been placed with two amazing and talented women. What's better is we still keep in touch.
Tonight, Amy, Dane, and I were able to get together and catch up over nachos and beer. While I have moved on to another job, I love how Amy and I can pick up right where we left off. I know it's pretty vain, but I really struggled with the fact I was an assistant and couldn't find a teaching job that first year. In hind sight, it was one of the best things for me. I was able to enjoy my first year of marriage without the stress of lesson planning or grading and I met some amazing friends that I can always count on.
