Heh, watched the replay of the bottom of the seventh. Pretty hilarious they made those girls stand there for like five minutes basking in the "L." I'm pretty sure if they would have given that SS a shovel during the replay she would have made it to China.

Just another in the long line of 20 something clueless girls in this country thinking BLM is an organization that cares about the welfare of black people when in fact they are nothing more than a Marxist terrorist organization.

apologies apologies apologies. I have gone back to work so instead of TIME I have NO TIME. Daughter is with me this week starting 3 hours ago and she has talked to me the whole time. THrow in my new lady friend and I have NO TIME LEFT FOR YOU............but here goes. It may be multiple posts.
My first great one was first 3 weeks of my first job. Math in a middle school. Had this quiet young black boy in the back of my math class. Michael Desue. I was told he was the worst kid in the school. Well not in my class. I would check on him each day. We had an independent curriculum where they worked at their own rate with materials made by our math dept. This was fall of 1978. After about 2 weeks he came up to me and said "I want to shake your hand Mr A. Youre the only teacher that has ever helped me here" That was a moment that made me realize I had found my niche.
#2. I had this gal child (another African America) who showed up in 86 with two lunatic twin brothers. She wrote an essay about her favorite teacher. I still have it as her teacher gave it to me. About the coach that was fair. THat is basically it in one sentence but it was a page long. I will never lose it. About a month after that essay she came to me one morning and said her mom's boyfriend would not leave her alone. I immedieately called HRS (DCF) and they came right away. I never saw her again..........until about 13 yrs later I was in Shands with my son. He was seeing a doctor about losing weight. A nurse came up to me in the hall and said "You saved my life" it was her, Della. A moment I will never forget.
3. My daughter needs me so I will get back as soon as I can. But I have tons.........

Well I did teach a lot of softball in school. I will try to recall one of those. Actually that jogged my memory. FiveStar asked me to provide some stories about teaching. I said I had hundreds. He said ten would suffice. Sorry if it causes a lot of stress...........

#3 I had this tiny little girl in my class named Hope. This is in the 90s. SHe wanted to be in my JRFH event. The AHA sponsored it each year with prizes. Her brother casually told me "She cant jump" I knew that. But by the time we jumped she could a little bit. She may have been in 2nd or 3rd grade. So that turned out well. After Christmas in March I had my field day. One of the events is jumping for 1 minutes. Total jumps. Really competitive for girls cause they ALL do it. Well somehow hope won first place. Blue ribbon. This meant she got to go the county Field day in that event (another thing I organized. This was against the best jumpers from 4 other schools. She won that, too. Her face with that ribbon said it all..........im sure she made sure big brother heard all about it.
4. About 7 years ago this brother and sister show up. Anaya was a genius. Super smart. Her brother Richard was this pudgy soft clutsy type that could barely walk and chew gum. Always happy. He could no more jump rope than I could fly. But he practiced everyday in PE. I swear he must have practiced 20 minutes each day for weeks. Never saw anyone that tenacious. He finally got good. But Richard was one of those kids that appeared to always be last one picked and never thought of us as an asset. But then another miracle. He began playing soccer. We play LOTS Of it. He suddenly became good and they ALL wanted Richard on their team. Anaya , his sister, was almost as good a story. She is now in 8th grade and my daughter tellls me stories about her all the time.............Ive got one more I have to tell but later. And I can go on for weeks like this............

Regardless of your politics, this country is lucky to have had you looking out for its children.
