Student almost made me ugly cry this morning

I had a really terrible weekend, and was going through the turmoil of feeling like I'm not good enough for my job. I'm in my 3rd year.

Last week I joked to my students that if ever need an idea for a gift, I would always accept Java monsters, Red bull, or white board markers.

Before my first period, one of those students popped into my class and kind of sheepishly said "I think this is what you liked" and handed me a van of Java.

I was feeling like such a failure to my kids before hand that I almost ugly cried on the spot, I have never been so grateful for a reminder like that. I'm putting the rest of today into turning it around and getting my week together for my students.
