My First Year Teaching

I've written, deleted, and rewritten this post like 10 times.  There is no possible way to put in to words how I am feeling.

I can't believe I only have 4 days left of school until I can say that my first year of teaching is over! *insert sad face here* I will be glad to have one year of teaching under my belt, but I am sooooo sad to leave my students, coworkers, and school.  I couldn't imagine my first year of teaching to go any better.  I know that a lot of people might say that their first year of teaching sucked, but I would never use that word to describe mine.  Yes, it was hard.  Yes, I was exhausted.  But I had a million more good days than bad days.

The best part was my students.  I looked forward to seeing them every day and missed them on the weekend.   They made my laugh every single day.  They made me feel better when I was feeling bad.  They were also very good at sucking up, hahaha.  I know that every student can succeed.  I also know that success doesn't mean the same thing for every student.

I feel so grateful and blessed for such a wonderful first year teaching.  I will always cherish and keep these memories close to my heart.
