  1. ON GOODBYES AT THE OF THE YEAR

    10:03 AM 5/18/2023

    and just like that the school year has ended. very prematurely if you ask me. but no one listens. they all just want to finish the year. they must hate their jobs because i can't understand how someone can await the end of the year with such eagerness. i struggle and dread the end very much. i hate the goodbyes it brings. i feel betrayed. i feel cheated. i spend a year giving all myself to my dear students only to see them detach from me at the end and go far away to another place, to another teacher. this year was especially difficult. so many great students and so many happy souls. i will forever hold pieces of them in my heart and i hope they do the same. i am glad i met them. i hope to see some of them later in life, in some other setting, in some other space.

  2. Beloved farewell messages

    on the 15th of May 2023

    i provided a sarahah link to my 1BAC classes and asked them to share with me how they feel about the class. All messages were positive and filled with so many happy thoughts. I will await your emails and messages in the future with a hopeful heart.

  3. a class to remember

    on the 16th of May 2023

    today, i said goodbye to one of my favorite classes of this year. it was extremely painful. i hate goodbyes. i hate this job for making me say goodbye every year to souls i have gotten so attached to. they brought me the nicest gift. their words and their tears will forever be remembered. i will be looking forward to your emails 10 years from now where you tell me all about your successes. see you in another place, dearest students.
