Spring Break Has Sprung

Well here it is. Spring break. Although I am excited for the break and the chance to spend some time with family I must admit that I have had a great past few weeks at school. My students have been so personal and motivated in so many ways. I think it has to do with the fact that it is now the home stretch - there are only about nine weeks left of school and we have spent a lot of time together. I have developed some wonderful relationships with the kids in my classes and have been honored to have some meaningful conversations during and after school about college choices, career choices and best of all - just plain old life choices. Being able to genuinely think out loud with someone and be a mentor for them is one of those Top Ten experiences. This is why teaching is the best job in the world. Authentic relationships are key, and if you let it, the heart of a person is what matters most.
