Patience is a Virtue

The past two days have been very emotional for me. Having to do my announcements at the end of class has been killer. If any of you were in attendance on Thursday night you know what I mean. I told myself I wasn't going to cry and as soon as looked at two of my kids moms I totally lost it. It wasn't the streaming of tears cry either it was full on ugly cry face cry. That was rough.

I just love what I do so much. I am having to go through a grieving process that I never thought I would have to go through for a job! But I think that shows just how committed I am to my students. I become connected to them and want to them to succeed. Losing "my place" has been hard. I think this change has also been hard because my daughter's routine is being uprooted as well. We had to say goodbye to five of her MMO teachers this week and her friends too. I know that in a few weeks she is going to be wondering why she hasn't been to "school".


Since life is cyclical, I know that when some opportunities in life stop others present themselves. It is just a matter of me being patient enough to recognize those opportunities while making the best choice for my family. I know that is something everyone can relate to.
