on my way into work this morning i saw a little girl walking to school. she had long dark hair in a slicked over side ponytail. she was tall and skinny, probably in 4th or 5th grade. absolutely reminded me of zobeyda.
zobeyda was in my first student teaching class. she always wore her hair in a side ponytail. she had a gorgeous little face and a killer attitude. all the boys were mean to her because they secretly adored her. and i kinda adored her myself.
it's strange when i get little reminders of city teaching. i can get so caught up in the excitement and new-ness of this job that i forget my passion used to be urban education. who knows if that dream has been replaced or if it'll resurface in the near-or-distant future.
