It was something of a tradition for me; every year we delivered a musical at St. Elizabeth CHS, I would invite the pit band student musicians to sign a poster with a colored pen. I have kept these posters and I while I have started to clean-up my home office, I did not know what to do with these posters, which I removed from the wall. I have accumulated quite a few. Well, I am keeping them and have rolled-them-up, and placed them in a recycled tube.
The real purpose of this entry is to comment on a feature of my character. You see, one of these musical posters had little holes at the top, which I used a hole punch to create. Then, I placed a string through the holes. The next point is the funny part. I would wear this and another copy around my body, like a walking bill board, advertising the musical, daily! (For many days!)
This demonstrated a slight strangeness to my character - don’t you think? Students appreciated my effort and my sometimes questionable sense of humor. This is an example to illustrate some of the enhancements I would explore in my day-to-day teaching. For me, it was fun, and I do believe these demonstrations of my unique personality helped to make me an effective educator and human-being.
