A Warming of My Heart

Today was my last class with my students.  It saddens me so much to know that they are going on their ways.  I have absolutely loved getting to know each and every one of them.  As I wrapped up class today, I expressed my gratitude to them and my observations on how much they have achieved.  In both classes, I was thanked with a standing ovation.  It brought tears to my eyes.  This has been a long road of improvement for both of us.  We started out as novices, and we rose to each others' challenges.  I am incredibly thankful for the time I've spent with these students, and I wish them all well from the bottom of my heart.
