Relating to others

My fourth of July weekend was awesome. My husband and I went to Sandestin where we stayed at the Hilton spa and resort. They had an awesome fireworks show and many other amenities that we enjoyed. While laying out at the pool on Saturday I began talking to a woman who was about my age. We had a lot in common so we ended up having dinner together with our husbands Saturday night. Throughout the day we learned about each other and our commonalities. She was also a student getting her masters degree in secondary education. She taught at a high school in upstate New York. Hearing the adversities and problems she faced made me realize that teachers everywhere are facing similar problems we are facing in Alabama. After discussing all the negative issues that are out there we began talking about the many advantages and privileges of teaching. It was really nice to meet someone who I shared so many career and educational prospectives with.
