School officially starts tomorrow for the county I called home for the last 5 years. Iโve had parents calling and texting looking for me. Iโve had students find me. If I did nothing else I made an impact on their hearts. Thatโs a job well done for me. This school year, I rest.
As the 25 - 26 school year approachesโฆIโm in a โdifferentโ space. For the 1st time in a decade Iโm not feeling the mix of anxiety, dread and excitement. Itโs weird but Iโm ok! Good Luck to all the Educators out there this year!!!
