Your Legend Will Continue

Earn 20 whammies with your brilliance,
or make that shot that seems too far,
And you will be celebrated
with a personalized silver star.

Get 40 whammies
in a year,
Your silver star is now old,
because you will
be properly honored
with a shining star of gold.

Your star will forever hang
from an institutional ceiling tile,
and I will always remember you 
with a whammy-sized smile.

Thank you, Susan Sharp. You introduced me to whammies back in 1987 at Aiken High School.  I never dreamed I would be using them myself as a teacher. You are the one who first made me consider this profession.  I am grateful!

Thank you, Carol Jackson of Dutch Fork High. You introduced me to the star idea along with a long list of additional things about the art of teaching that would take up way too much space even on the Internet!
