Well, today was it. I cannot believe it.
I had an interview with my principal today, but I forgot to take the IWU form...is that ok? I completely spaced on the first question but after that I think I did ok. I tried to cut myself short and not drag out my answers...that was encouraging:)!
I was holding in the tears until one of my students hugged me in a way that I knew he would truly miss me. Of course, the students are all going to "miss" me; they all wanted hugs and acted "all sad" and such, but he almost clung to me and gave me a really long, deep (if I can use that word) hug. He didn't realize it was my last day until later in the afternoon. As I was reflecting on it, I thought that perhaps he actually thought he had a friend. He was listened to, believed in, and had expectations set before him.
I have also thought about things I could've done, and although I cannot change the past, I can keep those things in mind for the future.
I thank you for ALLLLLLLLLLL your support this semester! A thank you is not enough. I am sure we will remain in contact...even in the near future, so I have no worries there. I am so grateful you were my supervisor; a true gift from God!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL break with your husband and boys! Try to rest and enjoy your time with family and friends!
