When I opened my classroom door on Friday, I expected to spend the rest of my afternoon preparing for the new school year.
Instead, I was greeted by former students who gave me a lifetime memory! I was shocked and so excited and thankful that I simply didn’t know what to say (a rare experience for me)!
People who say teachers are paid very little simply do not realize that the best "pay" for teachers is not measured in dollars but in the relationships they develop with students and in those wonderful moments they spend with special students. The little brown book of letters that you wrote to me means much more to me than the salary increase I will receive because of my degree. I will treasure that little book and your well wishes for the rest of my life.
I am blessed to have taught you all! Thank you for taking the time to make this day one of the greatest days of my life!
