As I packed up my room this year, I reflected! I thought about every morning on my way to this room. I thought about every student that enters my door. I thought about my two children that enter their school building. I thought about the words I use and how I have the ability to empower or crush confidence. I thought about the hard days and the laughter! I pray over this room and the students that enter it. I pray for my ability to pour into their lives with light, I pray for my ability to teach. I pray that at the end of each year EVERY single student knows they are loved and I will ALWAYS believe in them! I am so thankful that God has given me the opportunity to touch lives. I am constantly reminded that this work is important. I love my tribe, my school and the people that enter this profession with the drive and the heart to change lives and LOVE along the way!
