Values Clarification...

(photo courtesy of Harry Smeltzer)


How we define ourselves often depends upon what it is that we do.

If you had asked me six months ago what I was, or how I defined myself, I'd quickly respond "I'm a Park Ranger!"

Well, the fact is that I only Ranger one day a week...ask me how I define myself today and I'll say:



"I'm and educator, sometimes in the National Parks but mostly in the classrooms of Wasington County".

And I guess that's okay.

No matter where you are teaching Mannie (on the battlefield, or in the classroom) those in attendance are most certainly blessed. You taught me a great deal and I feel lucky to have met you. Now whether or not you give too much homework still has yet to be determined. :)

Mannie , I like the way you think. I have been retired for seven years and still consider my self a teacher. I teach every chance I get , just not in a classroom anymore. I bet you are one of the best!!!
