Thank You!

In a lot of ways this school year has seemed like it would never end. There have been many professional and personal challenges this year. I have wanted for summer for a while now, for a break and for a chance to breath. But, deep down, I'm not ready for the end of this school year. 

The end of this school year marks my amazing mother's end to her 36 year teaching career in Jordan. While I am extremely happy for her and for our family, my heart breaks as her colleague. I see the lives she touches every day and students who look to her almost as their own mother. I see the passion she has for her career and hope to some day be the kind of educator she has always been. 

Our department made a video for her and presented it to her about a week ago. I wasn't sure if I was going to share it, but I can't resist. 

I love you, Mom! There is truly no one in the world like you. I am looking forward to our last couple of weeks working together. Jordan will never be the same.
