Well the bitter sweet ending of Student teaching is finally here. I say bitter sweet because I am so excited to be done with college and to be able to sleep in past 6:15 for the next two weeks, but I love teaching the kids and love what I have been doing all semester and hate to say goodbye. Also now I just have to walk right into real life, looking for jobs, and I won't get to teach anymore.
All every teacher wants is to be liked by their students and I found out today that I was liked. It felt so good all week to have students telling me that they didn't want me to leave, that I was their favorite of the day, and shower me with gifts. I got a box of doughnuts, sparkling cider, a flower wand thing, about 5 hugs from students in every class (including some freshman boys), and a few gifts from my cooperative teacher. It is just nice to know that I will be missed. That tells me that at some point in my teaching I did something right. It is so satisfying being a teacher and I hope that I can find a job somewhere in Utah.
Oh by the way if you didn't hear, Ethan just got a job with Overstock and will be starting in the next few weeks. We feel very very very blessed and are grateful for all the prayers in our behalf.
