Today I gave a presentation on the needs of middle school students. The short version? Middle schoolers need…

(1) to be heard
(2) to have their feelings validated
(3) to feel accepted regardless of the circumstances

Apparently, I have those needs, too. Because the only reason I’m posting right now is to say that today a dear friend told me that she reads (and likes!!!) my blog.

I feel validated. And heard.

Oh happy day. 🙂

Back to work on my take-home final.
