Today is my last day at work and I feel a sense of relief, joy, and nostalgia all at the same time. It was and wasn't a nice surprise to know first thing this morning that our day would be less than perfect. Nonetheless, it is indeed a very beautiful day outside today. I am hoping I can still teach today, even though my brain is already on vacation mode, LOL! Today is definitely a celebration of this past year's triumphs, successes, and challenges. Even though it's my last day working for the county, it certainly is not the last time they will see or hear from me. In fact, everything seems so surreal that it still hasn't hit me that I will be unemployed this upcoming fall when I do my student teaching. Furthermore, I will take all that I have learned to transform the lives of my future students. Mother nature is such a beautiful thing and it can certainly teach you to have respect for everything we've been blessed with. It can also teach you to develop a love, passion, peace, and warmth for the environment. It's amazing how much you can appreciate and cherish something once you learn about it. So today I invite you to learn more about your surroundings, especially when it comes to learning about the history of the place you live in. When you know the purpose and reason for the existence of something (i.e. the significance of the name of your city), you will want to embrace it more and not let go. Don't let go of your dreams because this is only the beginning.
