first things first

I made it. I made it. I made it.

 

I made it through the school year. If you follow my ramblings, you will recall that this year of teaching has been so challenging for me. I have questioned myself, and also the students that I taught pretty much continuously throughout the year. I have cried. I have yelled. I have laughed. And I have shrugged my shoulders in indifference. Tonight, I rest. I have finished what at one point felt insurmountable to me. I made it.

Say a prayer. Have a drink. Make a wish. Whatever your fancy, just take a minute to celebrate the accomplishment I feel. 

I made it.
