So, I was in class the other day and a boy walked up to me and asked quite honestly, "Miss Carroll, are those natural gray highlights in your hair?" Well, I did intentionally overreact just a little bit. While it was funny, I must say, I have been noticing the gray hair much more since that comment. Ugh.
I think I really love the way kids will just ask you questions. Even in middle school they ask without thinking, but there is also an innocence that one can still observe. It is a unique age. I have an 8th grade class that has adopted the English Kindergarten class. I noticed the first day we went in that some of the behaviors remind me of the 7th and 8th graders I teach. :)
Please forgive my negligence in posting. I will make an effort to be better about it.

About Me
- Staci
- Daughter. Sister. Aunt. Friend. Traveler. Teacher. Geek. Reader. Smiler. Cat owner. Listener. Talker. Watcher. Drinker (coffee specific). Lover of many things and people. Discusser. Admirer. Grateful. Passionate. Helpful. Loving. Growing. Changing. Although I am all of these things, I am not a mother. Approaching 40 it seems that I will not birth children of my own. I am at peace. I do have so many young ones related to me, close to me, and those that I interact with daily who God has given me to love. These are the children to whom I write. May they know that because of Jesus they are freely and wholly and completely loved and accepted. May they know they have a purpose and a life awaiting them and that I love being part of their journey.
