100%

I think I must be incredibly sentimental...or maybe I've just really missed teaching after a 6 week break. But today, I am feeling quite humbled at the enormous amount of trust that is placed in me each day by my students. The smiles on their faces, the expectant look in their eyes as they looked up at me this morning...what a gift it is to teach. The love I see in their faces, their eagerness to learn and please. It's such a fragile gift that has been placed in my hands. I don't want to waste one single moment. Of course as I write this, I can't help but think of Jasmine. When she was living...if her thoughts turned to me or her first grade year, did she have positive memories of me? Did I do all I could for her? Did I give her my 100%? These are the thoughts that influenced my sentimental feelings this morning as a I saw each little face, standing out on that ramp.
