It was a Good Day

In education we know there are no two days the same. Honestly that's what's most enjoyable about it for me. Yesterday I got to take a group of BPA students to their regional competition. This is the first year that my school has had a BPA organization, so for these 19 students to take a chance on a new organization says a lot about their character.

BPA stands for Business Professionals of America. It is a student organization across the US and Puerto Rico (Check out the national website) intended for students interested in business careers. They get to compete individually and/or in teams in topics such as Accounting, Business Law, Website Design, Parliamentary Procedure,etc. We had 19 students complete in 6 individual and 3 team competitions (wonderful considering they had never done this before), and 16 qualified for state competition March 7-9. OUTSTANDING!

To say I am proud of these kids would be an understatement. I cannot take credit for their hard work and dedication, all I did was provide an opportunity and gave guidance, they had to do all the hard work. Check out our BEA BPA web site for more photos an updates. 

So to say yesterday was different than any other day would be correct, not had a day like this before. Yesterday was a good day.
