“Libertyville is just the best. I had this eighth period honors class, I think they graduated last year. At Homecoming, this kid comes up to me and says, ‘Would you wear my jersey?’ Again, I didn’t even know that was a thing. He brings me the paper that says why you chose this teacher. I was just taken aback! You have to understand, this is a person who isn’t vocal, isn’t loud, is a quiet student, is a respectful student. But I was very impressed and surprised by that. I’m here only part of your year, but the fact that he felt that comfortable to ask me to do that told me a lot about the relationship I had with that class and those students. It’s just a really cool relationship you can build over time, but we clicked.”
