Kids essays - Part 7 - Self esteem

Today I met Liezle and we ran some errands and got mufflers (scarves that are one big circle) and I realized that my scarf buying has increased a million fold since moving here. I think I previously owned 2, now I own like 5 (2 were free but still). I also bought these to wear on Saturday for the SEC Championship game (Go Dawgs!)

After buying crap we went to Jun (a hair salon) and Liezle got her hair colored, which took around 90 minutes because they had to redo it because her roots were still lighter than the rest of her hair. After they put the cream on, I got my hair cut. I cut off about 7 inches so it's really short now. Liezle's eyes got really wide when the lady cut the first piece, but it looks good I think. After haircuts we went to lunch and then went to a little stationary/random crap store and I got this card/ornament which made me extremely happy.

 So when I walked into my first class today, the 3 kids gasped and one boy goes, "Teacher your head!". The other comments I got were, "Why did you do that, your other hair was pretty.", "It looks cute." and lots of "ohhs". Only half of the kids have seen it though, so we'll see what happens tomorrow. The kids on Wednesday are more honest in their assessment of me. For example, on Monday I wore one of the aforementioned scarves and one kid goes, "Teacher, your neck looks huge!" So I probably won't wear that one again.

On the subject of kids, here are some recent kids' essays.
