High-Five!

A teen came up to me today as she shouted, “Where have you been!” I whipped around to see who was not using their library voice. It was a teen from my teen programs that I knew. She said she hadn't seen me in a week. A week? Apparently, I haven’t been around the Teen Zone in a minute, so I told her I’ve been, you know, busy. Which I have been lately with T-LAB and this being our second week in interviews. Almost done! Anyways, back to my original story… so this teen said she had to tell me something, as we both headed outside of the room.

It sounded serious cause she lowered her voice as she looked around. She said there’s this point system at her school, and you have to get a certain amount of points, 84 points is the minimum, and long story short, she made the Honor Roll! Now, this is amazing considering the fact that she told me before that she just transferred from NY, didn’t know a single person at her new school, entered school a week or so after everybody else started their first day of school, and I remember she was so nervous. I told her how happy and proud I was of her. I said, “Look at you! Doing really good in school, and making the Honor Roll when you just started…haha, High-five!” We high-fived, and she told me that she just had to tell me next time she saw me. So sweet she thought of telling me that.
