I made it through!!!

Today was my last day at work. My friend Satheva and her girls came to help me and offer moral support. There were a few things that I still needed to take home and I had the last minute touches to do to close the room up for the summer.

Then the time came to turn in my school keys. I didn't even make it into the school office before tears were flowing down. My Principal was standing there and I couldn't say anything. He reached for me and pulled me into a bear hug. He whispered the sweetest things to me and told me how honored he was to of had me for the past five years.

I walked back to my classroom to grab my stuff and I stood in the front of my classroom and balled my eyes out and when I was able to get it together I prayed for the lives of the many children that will come through this classroom. I prayed for their souls, their families, their academic abilities. I also pray that God would put the right teacher to teach amazing first graders that will continue to come through Berwyn Christian School.

Here is a letter I got from one of my students on the last day of school. This is one of the reasons I am going to miss teaching.


I have learned so much about myself these last five years. It have been a wonderful chapter in my life, one that I am sad to close. I know I am making the right decision for my family but I am still going to mourn teaching, the students, and my co-workers next year. I was truly blessed to be given the honor to teach and I pray that one day God will give me the opportunity to do it again.
