I went with Katie to work to day to participate in Liberty Junior High's "Breakfast with the Experts". I know that I am not technically and expert at anything, but I was there representing both physicians and medical researchers, as there were no others on the panel. It was a bit hard describing what it is I actually do, which it always seems to be, but the students were receptive and interested. The thing I think that they all thought was pretty cool was that I got to work with monkeys. A few asked why I didn't bring them (the vet brought her bunnies), and I had to tell them it was against not only hospital rules, but was also against the law.
I also got to see Katie's classroom, since I was unable to last time I was at the school due to it being part of the Haunted House. Just walking the halls with the multitude of tweens made me realize how much of a saint Katie and other Junior High teachers really are. Even though an hour or two later I was all scrubbed up doing brain surgery on a monkey, I know I would probably be way over my head trying to teach and help shape those kids.
