Good teamwork, Team!

In high school I never participated in any team sports. I don't remember doing a lot of team/group projects either. I know the phrase, "There is no I in team," but haven't had much use to apply it. My first year teaching I was having a conversation with my psych and a student, and the psych told my student that we were all on his team. The student stopped and said, "Wait, I have a team? You're on my team?" It was a defining moment for this kid as he realized that there was a team of people ready to love and support him, and that we were all on the same side, fighting for him. He made some great strides after that.
 That "ah-ha" moment has always stood out to me. I have struggled to find my "team" over the past few years...but I have had my "team" moment this year. My team at school is amazing. We are blending together so well, and it is a really good vibe! I am especially grateful for my partner in crime! She cracks me up, lifts me up, and fires me up! I am so blessed to work with some amazing people, and thankful to have them as my team! Go team, go! Thanksgiving Day 4 is dedicated to you!
