    Lol, I guess I could introduce myself

    Well, so many of you have supported my classroom fishtank world via offers, donations, and cheap sales.  I truly appreciate that.
    I have been a teacher in Houston for 10 years.  I have two dogs I rescued (on is 11 and the other will be 8) as pups.  I have a cat named Clorox that I rescued when he was 2 weeks old (he's now 3).  I have 6 sugar gliders- 4 of which are rescues (at one point I had 12... *phew* but 6 of them were adoptable).  I also have a hidden love of fish.  Last year I finally received permission to have a fish tank in my classroom (I could sneak a sugar glider in lol but not a whole fish tank).  Last year we had guppies and mollies... They are in my 10g at home now.  In the classroom, as most of you know, I have 2 10gallon tanks and a 30.  These have the cichlids from Cesar and Hanson.  
    I'd like to think, at some point, I'll have something to offer back to the FishBox'ers and really am in awe at how friendly (and generous) this forum is.

      well...
      no psycho stalker mass murderers came into my school.  
      How's that?
      I teach in a gang laden part of town...so the fact they had a smile, were willing to help me out with advice on their own fish, they helped me by setting up, and helped me by coming into my building.... that's pretty friendly.

        Just happy to have you bringing the next generation along the path to understanding and enjoying our hobby.
        'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
        He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

          If the kids can get a moment of enjoyment out the fish. Then it is well worth it. With any luck the kids will see there is life beyond the gangs.

            Welcome to the box!

            I think having something to look forward to at school is a positive thing for most kids these days.

              Yeah, my mom teaches 4th grade at a low-income school, and for some kids, lunch is the only meal they will eat that day because it is free to them. She tries to make school as fun as possible for the kids so they will want to learn. Teachers really do make a difference whether they see it or not! In a few years, you may not remember the child, but I'm sure the child will remember you and your fish tanks!  :wink:

              Welcome to the site...er, am I allowed to say that? LOL I'm really new here too!  

              Good luck!!

                  Everyone I have talked to about the forum says it's like a second family....Funny thing is that I think so too and I have never met most of anyone till today.

                    I hope the next auction will be closer to me and hopefully when I have some more cash, because right now I am broke.

                    opps I hate it when I post in the wrong area.
