The Texas Music Educators Association Convention was this past weekend (Wednesday through Saturday) and for the first time in 10 years I missed it. This year, different than others, I had volunteered my convention to work facilities, sort of paying my dues as a young director serving TMEA. I was so excited to be serving this year! Second, today at 3:00pm I was suppose to present in a session about being a young teacher. Never before had people my age presented at TMEA and all of us worked many hours trying to put together what we felt was a passionate chunk of information learned in our first few years of teaching.
To my great disappointment, I missed the convention due to illness. I don't remember being this disappointed in a long time. My eyes are watering just thinking about it. In addition I feel like I've let down my friends and my colleagues, and there is nothing that I could do about it.
