This year I have students graduating that I have had in class since my first day teaching. We had our first day of teaching and high school together. It's crazy to think how much we both have changed and grown together.
This last week of school has flown by. It has reminded me that I enjoy my job and why I come to school everyday: my students. The hugs goodbye, tears, sweet messages in my yearbook and visit from old students are priceless and renew my love and patience for my job.
Disclaimer: I would lying if I didn't say that June, July and August are three reason to add to the list of why I am reminded that I love my job.
As I pack up my classroom I am excited for summer and think about all my students I will miss. I only hope I impacted their lives in some way, the same way that Mrs. Herbst impacted mine.
