This is the most recent drawing a student made of me.
Below is what I looked life in real life at the time:
Some might find it disconcerting to have others randomly draw you, down to the pleats on your dress and the dangling earrings in your ears, but I don't. Why would I? I'm intrigued by cartoon Rachel and her adventures. I wish I were as cute as she is, for she never seems to have a hair out of place.
I'm also pretty much in love with the bazillion buttons that I sewed onto the back of this eShakti dress a few months ago to make it more exciting. Too bad they weren't featured in the drawing. I think I'm going to have to start requesting portraits in 360 degrees if all of the details of my outfit are going to be captured.
P.S. I love my job. I love my students, even if they didn't randomly hand me pictures of myself. I love dressing up for work and being Teacher Rachel (I would never punish my ESL students asking them to call me Mrs. G-unpronounceable-Spanish-word). Language learning is such a passion of mine that I'm only rather surprised that I didn't stumble into this career any sooner.
that dress is amazing on you! you look so pretty! love the extra flair too ;)
You're so gorgeous, Rachel!
WOW your student is talented. They got you and your pretty coral dress - I can totally see the shape of that dress. It looks gorgeous on you, by the way.
It has been a pleasure catching up. Welcome by sometime. <3 Ada.
AWESOME drawing!!! Wish I could draw even a thousandth that well! ^_^ I LOVE your dress!!!! I should add something exciting like that to some of mine! =D
Very nice drawing! Looks like the student did a great job (though took the artistic liberty of adding glasses)!
Love the buttons on the back! I'm waiting on my eshakti dress to be shipped!!
ha! I clearly haven't woken up yet. For a second I thought the last shot was a cleavage one (which seemed VERY un-Rachel!) anyway, what a fun detail. I should be having an eshatki dress coming soon which I'm excited about.
Cartoon Rachel looks like an anime librarian, I think :)
I think the sketch is beautiful! Love the glasses. Ha.

Some people are so talented with drawing. I wish I was more. I love that dress by the way too.
Awww... I think it's precious that your kiddos want to draw you!!! :-)
WOW! your student is really good at drawing, thats amazing! you are cute in both real life and as an anime character :P
I love the drawings! How neat to be able to see yourself the way your students see you :)
How wonderful that you've found your calling. I was devastated when I realized teaching was not for me, but then I realized that there are other ways to "teach." Just trying to figure out a way to get paid for it. Haha :)
That's a lovely dress and such cool buttons on the back - great additions!! :) The sketch is really good too, you've got a talented student on your hands!
I love that dress on you, and the buttons are so fun! She did a great drawing of you! I like that she gave you glasses even though you weren't wearing any, lol. How fun to be developing such great relationships with your students!

I'm glad you are enjoying teaching so much! It really is an incredibly rewarding job. And the cute drawings are just an added bonus!
So happy for you that you're loving life! And I wish I had people drawing such flattering pictures of me. Love it- great resemblance.
I absolutely love the buttons on the dress! So cute!
Love the dress and especially the buttons! And the drawing is perfect. I need more artistic ESL students in my life, clearly.
Those buttons are extra cute! It says a lot about you as a teacher that you have students who use their time and talents to draw you something special. Lucky them, and lucky you!
Ha! That is so much fun : ) I totally recognized you. It is the twinkle in your eye that gave it away.
LOVE that idea on the dress. Letting you know in advance I will be "borrowing" it.

Aww, that is so sweet! Real Rachel and Cartoon Rachel are both cute - she would totally make a great cartoon show though!
