Do you know of a teacher that really made a difference in someones life? Maybe you had a teacher that really made an impression on you as a child.  Maybe it is / was a teacher for your child(ren.)  The point is this... (Just my opinion, but hey, I can say what I want to on here, right?)  Anyways, I feel that teachers don't get the recognition they deserve.  They work long hours, they spend so much of their "free time" on each student and then don't even get me started on the pay...  Not paid enough, if you ask me.

Not too long ago, we were invited to tour the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House. You can read about our first tour at the Sandy Springs, Georgia location if you like.  The houses are similar, as far as the fact that they are there for making things easier for families that already have enough on their plate. The night we were invited, The Atlanta Hawks had their flight team there to sponsor a night of fun for the families that were staying there.  We were able to get a tour and then have a fun night with the Ronald McDonald House Guests.
