It's a Test Thing... It's a Test Thing... in Decatur is an educational center that assists students in preparation for tests... The ACT Guy provides comprehensive ACT prep.

As I sit here at the office on this quiet Saturday morning (which is unusual because I usually only get about 5-6 Saturdays a year off), I am hoping that my students are doing their best on the ACT. This past testing cycle has been one of the most difficult ones in my professional career. Not only were there literally 4 different testing dates, which made scheduling a logistical nightmare, but the limited amount of resources with the thew format and ACT’s lack of transparency regarding the roll out of this new format have made my job a real challenge. Our results on the last couple of tests tell me that we might just be figuring out this new format after all, though, as our results have been great! It wasn’t really the work, though, that made this cycle so challenging. As many of you know, I lost my sister to cancer just a few weeks ago. My sister Amy was my partner in education. She started teaching me before I could walk and got me my first job teaching ACT and SAT classes some 25 years ago. We both shared a passion for helping others and for being an educator. We bounced ideas off one another and shared the inevitable ups and downs that go with teaching. With her gone, it just isn’t the same. I want to pick up the phone to call her and tell her about the student that just got that 30 they had been aiming for or about the changes I ‘m making to my curriculum, but, I know she wouldn’t answer because she has moved on to a better place. In so may ways, Amy was my sounding board and my voice of reason when it came to teaching… I’m going to miss her sound advice and the many stories she would tell me of the kids in her classes. I’m going to miss dressing up as the mystery guest and driving out to her school to see if her students could figure out who I am…. But, most of all, I am just going to miss my sister. For those of you that I worked with over the past few months, a huge thank you for your patience and kind words of encouragement. I am not sure that teaching will ever be the same for me with her gone, but I do know that I must trudge on as I endeavor to honor her legacy by continuing to inspire our young people to strive to do their best. She was always my #1 fan, telling me that I was right where I was supposed to be, so maybe she was right… I just wish I could tell her that!

I don’t usually put a lot of personal stuff on here, but this is my Dear sister Amy… my first teacher! I say that because I knew from the time I could walk that she was going to become a teacher. I was always ahead in school because she would teach me everything she had learned that year over the summer! She has been an absolutely amazing elementary school teacher for 20+ years!!!
