Today I finally broke the news to my students that I am moving to Denver this fall to go back to college. These were a couple of my favorite responses:
T: Again!?!
R: And at your age???
I then gave them an assignment to research the college they want to go to in a few years. More of my favorite responses:
J: Which college has the most girls?
R (while looking at BYU's website): Did you know that there's a church at BYU? It says here something about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
*Side note: Later on in the day we were doing some Nevada History and read in our book about the Mormons settling Las Vegas. I asked them if they had ever heard of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or if they knew any Mormons. The blank stares quickly answered that question. I then told them that they knew at least one, and at first they didn't believe me. When I told them that I went to this church, they acted shocked and a little betrayed. I love shaking their little worlds sometimes. :)

hooray for you, Bepa! Are you missing your kids? Were you doing Teach for America? I'm impressed you are doing so many good things. Maybe you could pick up one more internship to do for me by proxy?
