Last Day of School..

Well, this is it. The last day of school. We had 5th grade graduation this morning and I cried. It's amazing how these children can weave their way into your heart. This is the last day of my first year and I can honestly say that I love my job. I am so blessed to have such a great group of kids. I am happy to get up each morning so that I can come see them. I am fulfilled knowing that I am making a difference in the lives of these children. I'm hopeful for what they will accomplish, proud of who they are, and sad to see them go. For the kids who will be returning next year, I can't wait for August to come around again! I will certainly miss my kiddos. Some of them come from such rough home environments that I'm worried about how they will fare over the break. I can only pray that they will be safe, healthy, and that they will feel loved. Praise the Lord for the greatest blessing in life...children.
