Super Heroes Get Sick, Too.

Today the sun was shining, the leaves were back on the trees... today was going to be a wonderful day.

Or so I thought... I had just walked into Bonneville when a coworker told me that one of my adorable little first graders (who happens to also have Aspergers like me)  was just diagnosed with leukemia.

I went totally numb when I heard that. I just couldn't believe that it was happening to my little K (that is my nickname for him).

I went through the rest of the day kind of in a daze until it finally hit me when I was sitting with my first graders when their teacher told them the news.
After they received the news they were worried about him and said that we needed to make get well cards for him.
We all made cards for him, and we all miss having him in our class!

Little K has been that inspiration for me to continue pursuing teaching, and now he is our class super hero.

Super heroes get sick, too. And that makes their teachers feel helpless.
