YouTube/Google Changes Okay

Dear Google/YouTube,
I think I understand your rationale behind the recent changes in format.
You know, I see it as a brilliant move. 
So far so good and congratulations on taking care of a couple problems 
that were very much contributing to much negative publicity for you and
much pain and suffering for many others. 
I had a feeling you'd come through!

Friday's Are Tough When the Stakes Are High

   In one day of teaching so much can happen. The lives of 
young people are in our hands. Everything we do in under
a microscope. So many decisions to make every hour, 
each one with the potential to propel your duty forward 
or keep in stagnant and ineffective. 

   Today was a movement forward in an otherwise typically 

difficult and long Friday. A decision to speak and then a decision
to act opened up a major opportunity today. The incedent made
this a highly memorable and successful day. My influence for the
good and benefit of a student will certainly change life for the 
student in a positive way. 

   It was not easy, but taking a chance comes with risks, but the

may not have done. I am where I am supposed to be. That's a 
teachers job.

"Cerrar los ojos a tu Chica" - Latin Music Video - BEAT100

"Cerrar los ojos a tu Chica" - Latin Music Video - BEAT100


The following letter was written from a daughter to her dad. "Susie" is a former student of mine. She moved out of the area after my first year at my high school position. She always kept in touch through her ex-boyfriend who I also had as a student. She posted this on Facebook and it was very emotional for me. I long to have this kind of closeness with my own daughter. Someday I hope...
