It kind of worked like that, except I was surprised that they addressed each of us by name, one by one. They stopped the session to talk to us, give us nice certificates, and even a couple of standing ovations. More than I thought. It ended up being quite an honor.
My VERY favorite moment was looking for Lisa up in the gallery of the House of Representatives...and I couldn't find her anywhere. I kept looking up, until Representative Menlove came walking down the aisle. I followed her and found Lisa on the front row, in a chair pulled up to a desk. She had been invited to be a 'cousin' to our new friend from Tremonton (and great supporter of public education), Rhonda Menlove!! How fun, huh? I couldn't believe it! No pictures could be taken from her front row seat, though :)
In the end, I left with some great memories of the experience. I met some new people and did something I have never done before. I felt like I was recognized for my hard work. It was a really good day!

Congrats!
Cool stuff. I just got my Level 3 in the mail. Bawled. What was Lisa doing in that past picture? When are you going to e-mail me? Thanks again for the package. You are the best. I love my Highschool Musical 3 pencils the best.:)
That post sounded depressing. I meant to say COOL STUFF! You guys are the coolest teachers ever! AND (in tiny print) I wish I was there too.:)
Safe to say?
bye.:)
What a day...whether I was on the floor with my "cousin", or leaning over the balcony, it was a day that I will always remember. Thanks for sharing it with me.
