I know I complain a lot. I am trying to stay positive, but it's easy to get lost in all the challenging circumstances and frustrating bureaucracy. But here is the one wonderful part of my job: working with kids who are brilliant and creative and funny.
One of my favorite students is a boy who was in my class last year. This year, he has a different teacher for the whole day, but I allow him to come to my room and play on the computer sometimes. This impresses the current 6th graders, who are only allowed in the room for tutoring. This student often asks me if I am married or have children. He is concerned about me, apparently.
This week, he asked, "Ms. Moretti, do you have a husband or any kids yet?"
"No, nothing has changed since the last time you asked me," I told him.
He paused for a moment, then looked at me with an optimistic expression.
"Ms. Moretti, I really hope Santa brings you a husband for Christmas this year."
