As you all already know, I'm not the most fashionable person in the world. In fact, I feel like I dress fairly drab and low key. My clothes don't make a statement. There has been no exception while I've been student teaching either. Brown pants and plain shirts are my favorites. I might throw in a necklace or something, but don't watch me for fashion ideas!
It was quite surprising when a student came up to me today while teaching. She looked at me with a straight face and told me she loved the way I dress. "You are always wearing the latest fashions Ms. Mason. When I grow up, I hope that I am as fashionable as you."
What?!?!?! I tried so hard not to laugh. She proceeded to ask where I did my shopping and told me that she would love to go shopping with me anytime I was available. Her mom, apparently, isn't up on the latest trends and makes her buy 11 year old clothes when she is 12. (again, tried not to laugh). "Don't you agree that I should be able to wear 12 year old clothes now that I'm twelve? I keep telling my mom that I want to dress like you someday and that I need to practice now."
I couldn't believe it! I always wanted to make a difference in my students lives, didn't know I was doing with the clothes I wore :)
God Bless!
