Yesterday, January 28th 2010, in her 6th period World Lit class, Mrs. Kelley won even more respect from me than she already had.

One of the kids in her class mentioned something that they thought was unfair, one of our students at Meeker High wearing cat ears in the building. They said they had nothing against the student, but thought that it was unfair that she could wear them when they were not allowed to wear hats. Three more kids in the class agreed and starting asking Mrs. Kelley why this was allowed.

Mrs. Kelley stood up and said “Taking off your hats in a building is not about being a distraction. It’s about showing respect and showing that you are honest enough to let others see your eyes. Out of all the things that you should be worried about; getting your grades up, going to college, and finding out how in two or so years you are going to support a family– you are worried about another student expressing their individuality!?”

When Mrs.Kelley said that, she won even more of my respect. I have never once seen a teacher at this school stand up for another student like Mrs. Kelley did, and for that, she is the strongest, smartest, and for me, the greatest role model a high school student could ask for.
