New Life

Art Is Life

The following Monday, I woke Up at 6 and got ready for my first day of school. I got Taylor ready and took him to daycare.

As I left I saw Noah and someone else heading out.

Noah waved to me and I waved back, "good luck on the first day!" He yelled. I smiled, "thanks!" I yelled back taking Taylor to daycare.

"Whose that?" Noah's brother asked as they watched me leave.

"That's Rose, she moved in a few weeks ago." Noah replied hiding a little smile.

I dropped Taylor off and went to school. I clocked in and talked with the principal.

He showed me to my class room in the opposite building.

"You can decorate your classroom the way you want, and do your own thing. Welcome to Baylor High Ms. Ramirez." Principle Matt smtold me and left.

I put some music on and started going through stuff, I had an hour before class began.

A few minutes before class I was really excited.

I stood outside my classroom and greeted my students. When the bell rang I closed the door.

"Good morning everyone! I am Ms. Ramirez. I am going to start with attendance, pass out your syllabus, and some paper."

After I did attendance and went over the syllabus I gave them their first assignment.

"I want to see what you all have stored in those creative minds. So in the paper I passed out, I want you all to draw something that shows who you are, what do you love, what are some words that describe you, what you like, anything . Show me what you have stored in you. You can either use pencil,marker, or color pencil.

They started and after a while I  walked around and observed.

Everyones was creative.
When I came to a young boy, I was amazing. "wow." I said. He looked up to me.

"What is your name?" I asked."Jay."
"Well Jay, that is outstanding. Keep up the good work." He smiled but it quickly faded.
Close to the end of class everyone turned in their work and chatted amongst themselves. Except for Jay, who sat there and continued to draw.

I did the same stuff with my next classes and while they drew I looked at the before periods especially from my first period,  at Jay's, whose was the best I've seen that day.

He drew a very detailed eye, but instead of pupils there was bars and hands that reached for the bars, and another eye with hands coming out of the eye.

The drawing was amazing, and it made me think about what it could mean.

The first day was successful and I couldn't have been happier, except for picking up Taylor from day care.
"Look what I made mommy!" Taylor said handing me a painting with a snall person, which I assumed was him, and then a bigger man.

"You forgot my hair sweetie." I said laughing.
"That's not you."
"Oh? Is it daddy?"
He shook his head. "Its Noah."
I smiled. "Well this will look great on the fridge."
"Noooo!" He said snatching it from me. "Im giving it to Noah." He said smiling big making me smile. "I'm sure he'll love it."
"He better." Taylor said making me laugh more.

When we got home I didn't feel like cooking, so I called Heather. Who told me that she would love to habe me and Taylor.

Since Heather told me sbe would have dinner do e witbin the your I sat on the floor playing with Taylor, smilimg because he was getting so big and was going to be 4 in a month.
