As I step into the
next phase of my journey in life, I find myself looking in several directions.
I look back over
the years – where I feel privileged to have served as an educator for so many
amazing young people – children who brought excitement to what has always been
much more than a job, who created challenges which led to personal growth, and
who provided me with so much joy and laughter through the years.
I look sideways
with respect for my colleagues – those present, and those in the past, who have
continually inspired me to be innovative, and who have been generous with their
time and with their patience.
I look forward with
a sense of completion and accomplishment, and I feel excited about the future
as I embrace the time-freedom that retirement brings.
I would like to
thank all the parents of students I have taught for loaning their children to
me for a time, and for their wonderful support over the years.
I feel tremendous
appreciation for the teachers and principals with whom I have worked and thank
them for all they have done for me – both personally and professionally.
