Just Shut Up & Listen

The biggest issue that I hear from students, especially girls, is that they just want their parents to listen to them. I am almost convinced that they don't even care if they even hear everything they say, but that they have their attention for a few minutes a day.

I have a couple of chairs in my office; one for my office aide and the other for any student that needs to talk. Both chairs are occupied all day long and I have the joy of listening while I work.

McKayla was my last office aide. She "graduated" early and moved to Vernal to pursue her dream of being a country gal. She takes great photos, has the cutest dimples and her eyes turn a beautiful green when she's happy. I miss listening to her!
