Ok, so my freshmen are taking their final, and I'm trying my darndest to get all this grading done in time. But my eyes are starting to bug out of my head because usually freshmen essays are incredibly formulaic and blech....
so...haha. I present to you an excerpt from Christina's that made me get a huge smile on my face. Her essay was one of the best that I read but there was this excerpt:
"Even though the social class divisions were similar there was one major difference in Hand and Rome. In Han, the pheasants were under the government officials and above merchants.

- I am a thinker and a learner. I love God deeply though I am still learning to get my strength from Him. I am a teacher and as I learn to love my students more they show me both respect and ways that I am weak. This year is a year where I am learning the meaning of "where I am weak, He is strong."
