And sooooo the water works begin...

Today I finally gave in and cried about how much I'm going to miss these kids.... We had the presentation of the Steele Stallion awards and that's when I realized how many of the kids at Steele had touched me... Had made me a better teacher AND person... When my student won for the 5th grade, I definitely had some tears rolling down my face. Mainly because his face when he won was just pure excitement, astonishment and joy all at once. I had a flashback in my head of all my days with the kids of 202... They are all so clear in my mind and I'm just so blessed to have spent the past 4 months with them. All of this got worse when the parents showed up at 2:50 with flowers and a thank you note... I burst into tears and just fought myself to hold it together. I DREAD Thursday/ Friday with the goodbyes to both the interns and the kids... I am not ready for this year to be over in any way.... I need a serious life break because it is going WAYYYYY too fast for me right now. No way am I ready for June... NO NO NO NO NO ....mature I know
