Chelle

It tooks months of cajoling, but my students finally got me to tell them that I voted for Barack Obama. Seriously, I'm a teacher. Voting Democrat is in my contract.

I was pretty reticent to share because in the diverse group of students I teach, there were avid supporters of both candidates. But I gave in because, well, I am a sucker.

Anyway, I was feeling pretty crappy about it, but as Chelle left my classroom, she looked at me and said, "Hey thanks."

I asked what for, and she said, "For helping to make history."
