I go to a school once a week to volunteer during the language arts time. Even though that may sound selfless, it is actually a selfish thing, so don't be too impressed. I thought it would be wise to get more experience in the classroom, since I am going to be a teacher and I don't have much experience in public schools or in classes older than preschool.
I love the school I go to, and I love the teachers I work with. I enjoy the students, and I love learning about teaching and interacting on this level.
I also love the school's secretary. She is incredible. She is one of the nicest people I have ever encountered in this position. In fact, I find myself comparing all of the receptionists and secretaries that I meet with her. They're never as nice, never as welcoming. This comparison just isn't fair. It's hard to compete with Debi. She makes you glad you came, she makes you feel comfortable even if you don't know what you are doing or where you are going, and she is just plain nice to people.
We need more people like Debi Schaffer.
