YES WE CAN!

November 5, 2008

Today during my Advanced English Club, on the faded, old blackboard in my classroom, I wrote, “Idiom for today: BREAK THAT GLASS CEILING!!!!”

I have to say that I felt special during Obama’s speech when he mentioned the many people out around the obscure corners of the world crowding around satellite radios and gathering together with other forms of communication to hear the news.

I felt special as I talked with my students about the history of the United States, and the importance of never giving up.

I felt special encouraging my students to make the impossible possible. To not stop studying, to keep trying to continue their education, to make their dreams come true.

YES WE CAN.
