Last day

I sent out an all staff email letting people know that today is my last day. The response is overwhelming. I think I will cry. I think I never understand how much people like me because I don’t like myself enough. This sort of thing is always so surprising to me. But I’m really glad to see it. I’ve only been here two and a half years but I’ve really earned the respect of my colleagues. That makes me feel really good.

And a kid came into class crying this morning. I took her outside and talked to her for a while. By the end she was smiling. I think the kids are really going to miss me. I succeeded at what I wanted more than anything career-wise. I became a good teacher.

    Congratulations. It’s moments like those that remind us why we put up with all the drek and bother. It’s a special moment when you realize you touched someone’s life and they will always be different (and hopefully better) for it. Treasure that.

    Aww man, I am really going to miss you. I only have another few months left at school but they aren’t going to be the same without you on camus, Krissy. 🙁

    Now I regret being so busy this year. I really should have come visit you more and I apologise for that.

    I hope I get to see you sometime in the future. Heh, who knows, maybe we’ll hang out when I’m a bit older.

    Can you imagine us going out for lunch or something? x3

    Well, anyways, I’m so happy I had you Junior year and I’m just sad that you didn’t teach Seniors as well otherwise I might not have gotten stuck with Lemco and his ridiculous 10-question finals.

    Here’s hoping to seeing you sometime in the future. 🙂
