This is my first first-week-of-classes at Mohave Community College, and I've found myself getting excited about seeing classrooms full of students engaged in the business we do here: teaching and learning. It's as if the old MCC battleship has been in dry dock these last few weeks and finally it's out at sea again, steaming along.
Of course, the voyage so far hasn't been without its rough spots. A few students encountered locked classrooms or came to school on the wrong night. But that's what the "Friendly Teams" are here for, to smooth out the inevitable rocky patches these first few days.
My Friendly Team shift before the start of 5:30 p.m. classes last night was pleasantly uneventful. I was impressed to see that most of the students I encountered not only knew where they were going, they were striding confidently toward their classrooms with a spring in their step. But they thanked me anyway for offering to help.
My pleasure.
