Brian Visits Prep

So I visted Prep and took some shots of....umm....our dragonboat racing trophy we won our first year out. Didn't you meet up with old friends, colleagues, and students at Prep? Yes. Where are the pictures? Umm...well...see, I carry the camera in my pocket with me, and I was so excited to visit my former students playing a game I created several years ago that I didn't take any. And then I was so interested in hearing about the great new head of school and about how happy everyone is with the school, life, and everything else that I didn't remember to take the camera out of said pocket. So...I have this fine shot of a paddle.

Seriously, though, after my last visit to Prep in March when everyone's spirits were down, I was so overjoyed to see all my former colleagues and friends so optimistic and upbeat about the school's future. I love Prep so much which is probably why I've already visited twice since we've moved up here. It was far easier to leave the building than the incredible people that work within. Looking back, I might have taught at Tampa Prep for a number of years, however; I feel now that I was more of a student there learning how to become a better teacher from some of the best in the business.

It was good to see you both. The morale at Prep has increased appreciably; I wish you could know our new chief.
