Introspection

Tomorrow will be my last day at the DREAM JOB which is Grady High School. I am so glad that I took the position, even though a permanent job didn't come of it. These kids renewed in me a desire to teach. I was only there for 7 weeks and I'm flattered to learn that I made an impression on these kids. Several of them asked me to sign their yearbooks. HA! I was at a loss for words.... at first (you know me), but then, was quick to let them know how inspiring they had been. My creative juices are flowing again. I have been painting all week, albeit very small pieces, but I'VE BEEN PAINTING. I have them to thank.
I so wish that I could return in August. These are some of the best, most talented students I've ever been around. On top of that, they are just plain 'cool'. I was never that cool in high school.

Next year, I will be teaching elementary school. I will split my time between two schools in Dunwoody. I'm excited, but now that I've had my Dream Job for the past 7 weeks, I feel that my calling might be high school. I've had a taste of how great it can be. Tomorrow I'll be a little bit sad.
