When Dr. Stearns asked us to comment about someone we admire or would like to be more like I immediately thought of Savanna K.
I greatly admire how Savanna is always so well organized, enthusiastic, and cheerful. Don't get me wrong, I have seen Savanna in a down mood before, but most of the time she is very upbeat and caring. She is so well organized that she always has her work completed and always seems to have something intelligent and thought provoking to say.
I wish in some respects I could be more like this. Unfortunately, I have trouble thinking on my feet (I know probably not a good thing to admit, especially when wanting to be a teacher, but . . .), and quite often I will come up with something intelligent to say well after the fact. In Savanna's case though, she never seems at a loss and is always considerate of others. All are skills that I know will be a great asset for her when she begins teaching.
Savanna is the future teacher I know that I would love to have had.

Barb-
Thank you so much for your extremely considerate post. It means a lot to me, especially since we share a lot of classes together and have really gotten to know each other this year. I'm very touched that you wrote about me; it means a lot - more than I can say/type!
Barb, nice tribute to Savanna. I agree with everything you say.
But I also think you think pretty darn well on your own feet!! I'm always amazed at how quickly you make connections. Don't sell yourself short! I don't.
