Every year it is hard for me to figure out the best way to say how much these students mean to me. This year is no different. I am a firm believer in the idea that each student is placed with me for a purpose. Maybe it's for them -- my teaching style is what they need, but maybe it's for me -- they teach me new ways of thinking, they teach me that I am capable of more than I thought, they help me grow professionally, but also personally. I've learned a lot from each one of these students, and I hope they've learned more from me than just how to read and write. Maybe they learned a little bit about compassion. Maybe they learned how to face the hard stuff. Maybe they learned how to navigate a little sarcasm. Maybe they've learned that no matter what, I love each one of them and they will always be "my kids".
Have an amazing summerβοΈπ
