Geek of the Week

(An unconventionally sweet and awesome honor!)

Alida Johnson

I’m on my toes, reeling back, feeling as though a shadow is stalking me.  How can a student complete an assignment before assigned? It’s a conundrum!  It’s a paradox!  It’s an incongruity! For an educator, this reality is quite disturbing and disconcerting.  

Me: “Students, you need to complete a college visit.”

Student: “I completed it this summer Mr. Uhing.”

Me: “Students, you need to complete a job shadow.”

Shadow Student: “I am already done Mr. Uhing.”

Frustrated Me: “Students, complete this scholarship essay.”

Creepy Shadow Student: “Done Mr. Uhing.”

Crying Frustrated Me: “Students, a new list of scholarships are out. Complete two by Thursday.”

Psychic Creepy Shadow Student: “HAHAHAHA DONE U-DAWG...by the way, want me to come in for a picture?”

Anguished Me: “For what?”

Better than Teacher Student: “For Geek of the Week.”

Me: “AHHHHHHH!”

Congrats Alida Johnson...English Geek of the Week!
