On Friday morning, I walked into school with a lump in my throat.  All morning I walked around with said lump in my throat.  Until lunchtime.  The faculty had a huge lunch catered for me.  In the middle of the table was a card that was signed by everyone and a cash gift.  Packing up my classroom was hard, but what was even harder was saying goodbye to my students.  They made me little notes, and cried as they hugged me goodbye.  I walked out of the building with tears coming down my face.

I love teaching.  I love all that those children have taught me throughout the years. 

I wish them much love and luck as they continue on their studies.  With that said, I leave you with my favorite quote.  One which I tell them everyday:

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!
- Dr. Seuss
