The people:
- Kathy, my former student who is now in 10th grade. I taught her 6, 7, & 8th grade.
- Ms. H, my mentor teacher who has been a part of my team for the past 7 years.
- Me, the soon-to-be principal
The setting: on the phone–3way conversation
Ms. H: So say hello to Ms. ______, Kathy.
Kathy: Hi, Ms. _______ I hear you are going to be a new principal and you’re planning a new school. (yes this was all in one breath)
Me: Yep, Kathy. I’m down in _______ (area of the city) training to be a principal, and I’m writing a new school proposal.
Kathy: Wow, Miss. You’re planning your own school?
Me: Yes, I am.
Kathy: So Miss, are you going to build the building too?
I nearly died laughing. Brick-by-brick, darling.
