More sweet words

Yesterday, after an inservice day (don’t ya just love ’em), I came home to find this lovely email, all the way from Wisconsin:

Hi Mrs. Zody

It’s been so long after high school and can’t believe it but I have three kids already. Trying to be the best mom also working full time job and keeping myself very busy, I miss the days in the Marketing Class listening to Mrs. Zody giving us the instruction on what to do next. 

Right now I’m in the process of help the Asian Community with the interview process. Getting them ready for a interview, which I think that you did a very good job with letting us know how to dress and what to aspect. I still remember when you said “ 4 to 5 years from now your going to call me and thank me for making you do this.” I think what you said was so right. It’s just that we were young and stupid at the time to really think what’s good and what’s not good for us.

But now that I’ve realized please help me so I can serve other better. With you guide for the professional profile and the interview guide that you had for us would be very good resources for me. Once again thank you for your time and hope to hear from you ASAP.

Thank you,

I’m going to send her a copy of our portfolio directions, a list of common interview questions, and the rubric we use to grade professional dress.  I’m beginning to wonder if there is money to be made in the real world with all this stuff I’ve been doing in public education all these years.
