Unforgettable Moment

This past Sunday, I brought 3 of my students to see a Bobcats basketball game.  A friend and I picked up the kiddies (2 of mine and 1 of hers) and drove uptown to the arena.  The boys were so excited when we pulled into the parking lot.  They were all smiles and even held hands (awwww) while we walked.  We had to wait outside the arena for my third student who was coming with another friend of mine.After a few pictures, we made our way in.  We quickly made our way to our seats and got ourselves situated.  The boys immediately focused on the game and I tried to relax.  As fun as this special night out was, it was quite stressful for a person like myself.  My 2 goals of the night were for the boys to enjoy the game and arrive home safely.  Anyway, I decided to treat them to some popcorn and drinks. $25.00 later, the boys were eating, cheering, and smiling.  After half time, we left (it was a school night) and on the way out, my friend worked her magic at guest services and scored the boys Bobcats backpacks, shirts, and folders.  They immediately put on their new gear and we left.  I had such a great time with my boys.  There were several times when my eyes were filled with tears because of the joy I could see on their faces.   It was just so touching.  It was truly an unforgettable moment.

3 happy friends!
