Ok I know this may be silly, but my favorite show Friday Night Lights just started up again for the season .
I love the character of Tammy Taylor! She is a mother of two and has just left her prestigious job as a principal at the "rich" high school, and crossed the rail road tracks following her football coach husband to "lower class" high school. It is a classic east vs. west competition between the two schools.
She was asked to step down from her job as principal because she advised a pregnant student of all her options, which the school board did not think was appropriate. Here is the best part. When there was a town meeting and Tammy Taylor was suppose to publicly apologize to the school board and community (which only happens in the world of t.v.) she didn't.
Mrs. Taylor felt that she had done the right thing by giving every possible option to a pregnant high school girl, and she was not about to tell the entire community that she was wrong in order to keep her job. So instead of saying " I was wrong and I'm sorry" she said, " I have done, and will always do what is in the best interest of the children."
She stood by what she believes, even when she was facing losing her job. I just love that quote and what the character of Tammy Taylor symbolizes.
Stay tuned as the plot thickens......
