I saw this one very early this morning because I could not fall sleep last night. I didn’t fall i’m sorry but until about 2:00 a.m. I had to listen to this song because it took me way back to my beginning years of teaching and I thought about my friend, Joe, who made me this sign:
It’s modeled after the BET show, 106 & Park. My first classroom number was 106. He made me the sign that I hung in my classroom when I taught English. Instead of Park, it said “Rios.” I used that sign for the five years I taught from room 106. I still have it; it’s in my basement somewhere with all of my teacher things.
I used to call my friend Joe, “Seph” because I think he called me, “Fer.” He was brought up how people have nicknames and he wondered why they shorten the name to just the beginning, so why not the end?! I thought of that random conversation because this song came out the summer after my first year teaching. It’s the summer I went to Florida for treatment. I’m sure I have pictures of Sean from then. He was really little back then. I will have to find them.
