Poultry
Attending ACU was by far one of the most imortant decisions I ever made. You can't appreciate attending a Christian university unless you attended a state school like I did. No one is perfect and you can't expect that from anyone you meet or know.I met some really neat people attending ACU and some of them are still a part of my life. I wouldn't even begin to mention names because I might forget someone important who mattered a lot to me and shaped my moments there.By the time I graduated, I was married. I remember during this time, my grandparents would write and send me a couple of dollars while I attended ACU or ACC as it was called back then. When I think of the professors, they were pretty good and I loved living in the dorm. I decided top be a teacher when I was 8. You know when I had the teacher in third who was wonderful..I even was a flower girl in her wedding. My daddy wanted me to do anything but teach. He suggested strongly that I try to be a dental hygienist but my first day to observe in an office resulted in me fainting whenver I looked into this woman's mouth. So... from then on he reluctantly allowed me to go to school to be a teacher if only I would teach elementary. I honestly wanted to be a drill team instructor but that wasn't going to happen. He also said he would pay for only 3 years of college. so guess what? I went summers, winters, spring and fall. I have never regretted teaching. In fact, I would teach for free. Except in this crazy world, you have to pay for stuff with cash. I wonder what it was like for the cave man. What a simple world they lived.

Mom,
You make a great teacher! Your children love you. You are one of the most creative teachers I know. I know for a fact that there are very few teachers that have started using power point presentations in elementary school. There are very few teachers that have a projector in their classroom connected to their laptop and the internet where they can look up the places and show pictures of what the children are learning about. Your children in your classroom will look back later and appreciate your techniques you teach with. They are lucky to have such a great 4th grade teacher.
Love,
Leslie
