Something really jumped out at me on the first page of this chapter. When the student was describing their two high school track coaches I really connected with what they were saying. I had a bunch of coaches in high school and I had coaches like both the student described. I truely appreciated the coach that scheduled 3 hour practices on Saturday mornings compared to the one the gave us Fridays and weekends off because I became really good at the sport.
The quote from this kid really made me think back about my own high school experience and relate to the student. I think this is very important. Being able to relate my own experiences with those of my students will help put me on "the next level" with them and hopefully make them and myself more confident in my classroom.

cool insights...you've gone beyond relating to what the authors wrote about and have made new connections that will help you be an even better teacher. Way to go.
