my students love me. thank goodness.

Even my old students from last year still love me.

It makes me happy.

One was gone for a couple months to visit family she has in Peru and brought me back the neatest shirt along with some yummy Peruvian candy.

I missed her while she was gone.  She always come to my classroom after school to give me a hug and tell me about her life.  

Her mom is so cute and told my student said that they got me this shirt because I'd commented on a picture they'd brought in for a presentation and said I wished I had a shirt like their family was wearing the picture.  So now it's like I'm part of their family.

So cool.

I'm just glad she's back and that we get to wear our matching shirts together on Friday!

I love the relationships that I get to form during my teaching career.  I love my students, their parents, and my coworkers. 

 I'm loving my life.  

Is it hard?  Of course.

Is it worth it?  Of course!
