The Key for any teacher to be successful is to have a support system that understands your crazy schedule. These are the people who you haven't talked to in months (Kim) but still love you and know that I will call in the summer when I can have part of my life back again. They are also the people in your life who you usually see on a regular basis (Candi, Tom, Jen, Kate, and the Girls Weekend crew) but understand when you drop off the face of the earth for a month at a time. But, most importantly it is your partner. Eric is possibly the best, most understanding, and supportive husband in the history of the world. Without him I would not be the person I am. He helps me become a better person and a better teacher.
During report card season Eric is incredibly patient, proud, and supportive -- plying me with snacks (even the unhealthy ones that he typically doesn't support), and giving me space to get everything done. Even though Eric doesn't really have a grasp on all that I need to do, he is supportive at every milestone and tells me he is proud of me when I meet a goal.
So ... thank you Eric for being you. I would be lost in this world without you.
With love,
Becky
