So last evening I was busy creating a powerpoint presentation for the graduation dinner on the 28th of June. As the soft sounds of Green day croon Good Riddance, Wake me up when September ends and Sarah McLachlan
and her tender "I will remember you" I coud not help but get a little misty.
Of course I will be back in September and more than likely every single community member will still be here. What caused the tears to threaten were some of those teachers that will be leaving and not returning in the Fall. There is great sadness with their departure. It is crazy the way ending come here and often leaving us wondering why. But I know deep dwn that each one of these teachers will excel in thier lives even though the journey seems uncertain now, there are some with incredible talent when it comes to teaching and they just don't know it or beleive in themselves enough.
Perhaps this is just the universe's way of telling them they need to take that first scary step to discovery. I know they will be surprised to discover that they are an incredible teacher and they can now let their talents shine in a new way.
So to those specail people moving on to a new expereience I wish you the best and you will be deeply missed not just by me but by those lives you touched, they are better for having you in their lives.
Fortunately for me I will miss the dinner and will not have to hide the tears when the presentation plays, but just know I created this little slide show and felt the emotion over and over. Hopefully the universe is listening when I tell her to take care of you!
