Day Four: It's like a giant slumber party

Well, we are on the bus.  I am blogging using a mobile hotspot that could go out at any minute,  This post will be a short one.  I typically like to write a summation post at the end of the trip...and will probably do so tomorrow.

Our ETA in Saugus is roughly 1:30am.  It's been a really long day, but the kids have been resilient.  I've been getting to know many of them and I cannot wait to potentially teach them next year.  I've also noticed something else in them...it's really cool to see, too.

They have every right to be upset and tired and annoyed with this journey home, but they are not.  Our bus is filled with laughter right now.  I heard some kids talking from about halfway down the bus. They said that this is like a giant slumber party.  I've always maintained that we make our own adventures in life...that we hold the power to make bad situations better simply by possessing a positive attitude.  I am seeing this in them.  It is really cool.

We are about to enter Connecticut and I am going to sign off.  I will see you all soon enough.
