As I’m sure you’re aware, I have the wonderful privilege to be the Wedding Planning Instructor at Wake Tech Community College. Last evening was the last class of the 2008 Fall Semester. I must say that this group of students truly touched my heart!
At the beginning of class last night, I noticed that one of my students, Peg, was wearing what has come to be known as my favorite color combination – hot pink and lime green. And as students started to come in, Peg actually handed out small hot pink and lime green stickers that everyone proudly wore on their respective clothing! I felt so special!
And then…….at the end of the class, Peg asked for me to take a seat. She then presented on behalf of the class a “Certificate of Appreciation”. It went on to say, “This award is presented to Tamera Davis. For your outstanding leadership as our class instructor in the ten week course – ‘Start Your Own Wedding Consultant Business’. Thank you for making this class alot of fun! We will never forget you! – From the Class of 2008 – Fall Session.” Can you say – Wow! I was truly honored. And then, to top it all off, the class had actually pulled together to get me a gift. A cute Chartreuse green tote with my initials monogrammed in hot pink. How sweet!
Wow! It brought tears to my eyes. I truly do enjoy teaching and educating my students on the joys and challenges of wedding planning. And it was just so touching to see that my students appreciated me.
Here’s to you – Fall Semester of 2008 – I love you guys! I wish you much success and it would be a privilege to work along side you one day. And in your honor, I am wearing green and pink today and proudly carrying my tote.
