One of the toughest parts of being an educator is that you form a bond with these kiddos for about 9 months and then you say goodbye. Some of them come back and bug you lovingly, but others you never see again, and all you can do is wish them the best. There will be those that will come back and tell you they're doing great. There are those you see on tv, getting arrested or with a mugshot. There are those who pass away and you wonder what would have become of them if they were still around.
This year's kiddos are especially dear to me. I have to admit, even though they gave me a hard time, as all kids do, this bunch was absolutely amazing. I'm really going to miss them very much. If I happen to leave town, theirs is one graduation I would fly back to see.
Thanks for the memories, kiddos!
