Kids are Amazing

Not that I have any kids of my own, but I met my freshmen yesterday. As our school has a campaign to get kids more technologically involved, I decided my "homework" before they started class was to logon to my website (that can only be accessed by our school) and write three interesting things about themselves on the discussion board. I figured I'd get a deluge Sunday night, but to my surprise, I've gotten a number of responses already. I've learned things like favorite sports, summer activities, life goals, and a ton more. I think it's important to remind myself that these kids do have lives and my class is not the most important thing all the time.
