January 9, 2024
At one of my schools, I got new classes. I taught half the school first semester, and now I have the other half. I had a class of 16 second graders. I was calling roll and when I called out her name, this little girl didn’t say ‘here’, she said, ‘Oh my God! Nobody has ever said my name right the first time!” Then, with a tear in her eye (seriously), she said, “Thank you.” I said, “You’re Welcome.”
I’ll tell you, I have the same type of reaction when my name is pronounced correctly. Those of us with *different names know this feeling all too well. We notice and feel seen when it’s pronounced correctly.
Here’s to hoping I say it correctly next week.
