As I sit and watch my students play, I realize how valuable life is. I am feeling a bit nostalgic and I am missing someone I
don't know or haven't even met yet. I want to cry every time one of my students tell me they love me or smile at me for no
apparent reason. Since I am with them eleven hours a day, I know them better than their own mothers. They say teaching is the
profession that teaches all other professions. Its more than that, it is molding our precious childrens' beautiful minds. Every word or action, positive or negative, has an influance on their character. I love to be able to watch them grow, see them run and climb,
Listen to their wild stories about dragons and butterflies. Each one of them are so special and unique in their own way. Thank You,
Lord, for the encouragement that comes from seeing my students' accomplishments.
