High Aspirations

As soon as I found out that I was moving to Houston to teach, I immediately formulated a long-term plan: in two years time, I would become Tami Taylor. Mrs. Taylor, commonly known as "Coach's Wife," and more recently, as "Principal Taylor," represents everything any self-respecting teacher could possibly be: beautiful, thoughtful, compassionate, hip, and her rapid ascent in the public school heirarchy is dizzying. I think it's safe to say that I'll be taking my cues from Pricipal Taylor in the upcoming season.



In a bizarre turn of events, however, it seems as if I have some competition from another special educator teaching in Houston. We contacted a school office today to accesss some records for our students. To my dismay, (and this is 100% true) we were redirected to speak with a woman actually named Tami Taylor. Talk about an unfair advantage! However, I am not discouraged: I have a vision, and I will not be defeated.

  1. The Tami Taylors, either one, have nothing on you -- stick with your vision. But I thought Frano and I were your first visitors....
