I've found that being too damn busy to worry about (either about doing it before, or whether I did it well enough after) has been the best antidote. *But* I hope you had fun as well!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674930108735903116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278085019370560632.post-42205865968374752262014-08-13T08:25:22.189-04:002014-08-13T08:25:22.189-04:00Congratulations on another big breakthrough!

Speaking from the vantage of 35 years of teaching, I think you were successful because you really wanted these kids to "get it," to enjoy something that means so much to you. I bet the hours they spent with you will stay with them a long time.
