I love being a tiger.

I am so in love with my new school!

I am so impressed with everyone and everything.

I just can't express how happy I am to be at Orem High.

I really feel like I am MEANT to be here.

I smile when I arrive at the school within six minutes.

My heart jumps for joy at the speedy internet connection.

I giggle at how large my classroom is!

I feel like a real person...because coworkers treat each other RIGHT here.

I take a deep breath at the lack of drama.

I hug the copy lady (I have a copy lady!!).

I feel pretty accomplished today.

Last year, I went home sobbing on my first day teaching

(and for the next two weeks after that...)
I had one goal for my first week: no tears.

Today, on my first day, I leave smiling and happy, truly happy.

I did it.

It's a good day.
