Well today was my last teaching day at Chadwick in CA. It was bittersweet to say the least. This years class was so amazingly kind! I will miss them dearly. I have learned so much from them. I hope to keep in touch with all of them to know how they are doing next year. I hope this is not one of those situations where we keep in touch for a month or so and then fade away.
As I look back on my six years at Chadwick I have so many wonderful memories. I have learned SO much from all of my colleagues, especially my wonderful teaching partners Marla, Lauren, Katy, and Patsy. These ladies have helped me to grow as a teacher. I have gained confidence with the kids but more importantly with the parents. They have taught me to be stern but silly. To enjoy my job and have fun (but with teaching kindergarten how can you not have fun!) I have learned to try new things...even if it is only once. They have taught me to appreciate the small things. I learned to be more organized, and time manage. I have learned to persevere though adversity and not sweat the small stuff. Most importantly I have learned that I have wonderful people who love me and believe in me.
I am so excited for my new adventure but there is so much unknown that it is scary. I look forward to my new chapter in my life and will never forget the previous chapter.
Thank you to everyone who made my six years at Chadwick so heartwarming. Thank you to the many amazing people who took me in when I needed a family. Thanks to making me feel so loved and appreciated!
I love you all and will miss you dearly!!
