My Reward

This year has offered me new challenges, new frustrations, and the most awesome new rewards. Last night was graduation at Alexander. I cannot tell you how good it feels when a student says to you "Thank you, I would not have made it without you". I had two students tell me last night that they would not be graduating if it had not been for my help. That made everything that I went throught this year worth it! I cannot complain, it really has not been that bad. There were a few times this year that I thought "What have I gotten myself into?", "Why did I do this?", and "Can I really do this?" My answers came last night. I have gotten myself into the most rewarding career. Seeing students graduate is why I did this. And, Yes, I really can do this, and I do make a difference! I can't wait to see who I can help through the next school year...
I am really proud of all "my" kids, but especially the ones who faced challenges and overcame every hurdle to graduate and go on to further their education. I am so proud to have been a part of their journey.
