I have only been teaching three years. This year my position was cut making this year's graduation bittersweet. Before the ceremony, I was greeting my students and a young man that was in my class my very first year came up to me and thanked me for being at graduation. He told me that I was his best teacher. When I asked him why, he told me it was because I believed in him and believed he could succeed. What an awesome way to end my time at this school!
