Victories

As we close the academic year, I note a few stories about the relationship between the teens and me:

• One group that was great but was not my very favorite believes it was, in fact, my fav.

• My favorite class knows how much I love that group, but I managed never to indicate to them that they're my fav. 

• Even though I also had a favorite student, he or she didn't figure it out (neither did anyone else).

Not a bad record to finish the year with. I consider those things to be victories.
