5. friends. i've been reminded this past week just how groovy mine are.
6. marquis. my job this year allows mwe tremendous flexibility. this past week i spent a period covering a resource class for 6th graders. marquis, a student in the resource class, shared his story of how he is a cancer survivor with me. he then proceeded to show me his prosthetic leg. he had to choose between recontructive leg surgery, or amputation. he was tired of being in pain, so at 9 years old he decided to have his leg amputated. his outlook on life is amazing, and this past week, he became my hero.
