I went by my school on Thursday, to get something from my art room. There, in the office, sat my principal with her light on, though the rest of the school was dark and deserted. She looked terrible, since she is in pain from just having an operation of both knees replaced a couple of weeks ago.
I've complained a lot about her, since she is very demanding of all of us teachers, but I also have to admit to an admiration for her devotion.
There were fruit flies all over her office, eminating from a huge potted plant, which I asked her if I could move out of the office, to which she agreed.
I have to say her example is inspiring. I would have been home resting and recovering. I will have to rethink my criticism of her, as I am inspired by her example.
