Hello. I am a junior high school public school choir director.
My life includes daily choir rehearsals with over 200 twelve to fifteen year old students. Does that sound like fun? Well, sometimes it is exactly that. We are noisy. We laugh alot! We are hardly ever still. We are energetic. But there are other times. . . like when someone has just had a disagreement with a friend; or when a break-up occured in the hallway on the way to the choir room. Or.... when half of the girls in class are simultaneously experiencing PMS ...or.... when your boys choir forgot their ADHD meds. Especially if these disasters occur during UIL time or TAKS day! I spend my days encouraging, cheerleading, parenting, organizing, counseling, and hopefully educating. Nobody promised me that this calling in life would be easy and it's not! But it certainly is interesting. I invite you to step into my world as I post a thought from time to time about my work with teens. I hope to keep a literary record of my experiences for my own benefit, but I hope to inspire a teacher or two with my words. Welcome to my life!

My mom is a DORK!!! Just kidding :)
What my mother does on a daily basis is INSAIN and can be frustrating at times but I have seen the rewards make everything worthwhile!! The kids LOVE her and she inspires the not only in love of music but instills hard work and dedication that follows them the rest of their lives. The idiots who think that the arts do not belong in school need only to spend a few days with former Mrs. Lollar students and they will know just how valuable it is to a kids character!!! Just don't goof off during rehearsal or you will get the dreaded "lollar look!!!" Now after all these years, she gets the ummmm "priviledge" of teaching not only her grandson but also her little cousin. Boys you better be nice to her because we know where you live! Mom is the most successful choir director EVER and to us who do not have her gift, we thank you for sharing yours with the thousands of kids you touch daily and I personally admire you and am proud of all your accomplishments!!
Love you mom!!
Dang that was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG comment!!!
YAY!!! I was the first comment!!!
Thank you, Baby. Remember when I was your 6th grade music teacher???
I know one teacher you have already inspired by your awesome example. :) Love you Kathy!
Thank you Melanie.... keep teaching those babies to sing!
Mrs. Lollar, since this is your "book" don't forget to write something about the amazing Morgan Fankhauser. You always said you would mention her haha.(:
I love and miss you soo much!

With the current trend being to a lot of unisex clothing styles what we wear on our feet is sure to come to question. So can woman wear mens Footwear, or is it not something that is done? In this article I will discuss this question.
