A Student Thank You

In high school is when I found my true calling...being a teacher.  I have never looked back and have enjoyed everyday I spend in my classroom.  I started my career teaching a variety of elementary grades and I truly loved it.  About 8 years ago, I made the switch to middle school.  It was a hard choice but needed at the time.  I quickly found out that the "light bulb" moments you get being a K-5 teachers does not happen as frequently in middle school.  However, I have learned to accept it and still believe that each day "light bulbs" are turning on they just are not as bright or as loud!  :)

Last week was the final week with my students.  It is always a bittersweet time for me as I am sad to see them go but I also know that I have given them the wings to fly even higher.   Once of my students wrote me this note and it made me cry.  Yes, I did challenge this student because I knew she could learn amazing things and go places she never thought with her learning.  This note proves that my high expectations does pay off.  I know Jenny thanks me in this note, but it's me who really should be thanking her for what she taught me.
