5th Graders at Thomas Crossroads Elementary School

Good Evening ...almost Good Morning!  Natalie, Nic and I really enjoy visiting with the 5th graders at Thomas Crossroads Elementary School.  Many thanks to Mrs. Lorrie Shaffer for the invite and willingness to put our gal ....and her brother to work.  And to Principal Dr. Simmons for a nice greeting and escort, sure to miss seeing the "big guy" on a regular basis.  Used to work with him, in another life.  He got a charge out of Natalie telling the story of jumping up and hanging on the door frames and the retired Principal Hattie Dunn always would catch her.  Or getting caught climbing any pole or pillar in the school and Principal Dunn would alllllwayyyys catch her.  YES, she was a monkey too!

Anyway, Natalie and Nic made a great team.  They were asked to speaking about the importance of setting goals.  Our gal started out and at the point of talking about her re evaluating her upcoming goals in light of her injury she choked up.  The eyes welded up to surprise of her brother.....who most graciously took over the conversation to allow her a moment to regroup.  Yea, not a dry eye in the room.  I guess, down deep she really isn't ready for her pro career to be over, guess time will tell.

Sooooo very proud of Natalie and Nic and their efforts today.  The kids were fully engaged and relating to them.  Was so very awesome to witness, a proud mom moment for sure.  I was able to record some of the presentation, the audio is not very good, forgive me.  But thought you might like to hear part of what they spoke about with the kids.  Please enjoy!  Love and Blessings....Sherry!
