Ahhhhhhhhhhhh


Well...we made it! Another successful semester complete. Tonight's class was a wonderful way to unwind and destress after a long diagnostic case report write up. I really do appreciate all the support you all gave me throughout the semester and during my slight meltdown last week; it's always nice to know you are there to listen and support, and going through the same thing. The stress will be worth it next semester though when we see our students making progress and having success in reading and writing. We will make a difference in their lives and the satisfaction will be truly fulfilling. The quote I chose has always been a favorite of mine and I try to live by it especially with my own kids. I think every teacher should read it at the beginning of their day and again at the end. It's very inspiring and a great reminder of the immense difference you can make in a child's life.

This comment may be a day late but it's here! I'm still part of the Inner Circle.
Thank you for your supportive ear and for being on the same wavelength about other things on the agenda. Have a great Christmas holiday!
P.S.
We'll get together for our two parents.
