Shining example

The sun is shining after a rather frosty start to the day. My inspirational figurine, Lisa Simpson, is glowing as if from within. She used to sit above the whiteboard in my classroom as an antidote to Bart’s determination to be an underachiever and proud of it. Holding her saxaphone and a glowing report card she is a shining example, particularly at this moment caught by the sun.
