I Was Booed!

The awards assembly was held on Friday at the public high school where I teach. I approached the award podium to announce the senior winner of the teacher's association memorial scholarship. I was booed by some students this year. After making the presentation, I left. I worked in my room to get my lesson plans done, and other paperwork that was mounting. Is this how our Lord, or his apostles felt from time to time? Shunned, cackled at, booed? It is a cross, and it is painful.
