I Am Ready

I have been away from my students for two weeks. Today starts a new day, a new quarter. I am so fortunate to work with amazing thinkers and writers. There is a core group of students who have become like a little family unit to me.

We keep in touch by texting or occasionally talking on the phone. Being off for two weeks definitely had its benefits. I was able to spend quality time with my sons and other family members. I rested for the most part.

But this morning I am ready to see those bright and shiny faces. When I first started teaching this school year my first thought was "What in the world am I doing here?" But over the months I have laughed and cried with them. Some of them keep me laughing so hard that I have to leave the room sometimes to get myself together.

They don't don't see what I see. So much potential, so much talent. I am up getting ready to go to a place that at the end of the day I don't mind going back too.
