After a wonderful time on Spring Break back in Kansas, it was time to head back to Florida. I was anticipating my students to be more unruly than they actually were today. They greeted me with big hugs and smiles once they entered the classroom. Their smiles and hugs are so genuine, especially when we've been separated for a period of time. School was pretty good today, considering it was the first day back from our break. It's time to buckle down and focus on this last month and a half of school. I told my family that it will go fast and I'll be back in no time at all.
Speaking of time flying, it's my birthday tomorrow and that's just a bit strange. I guess it's true that as you get older, the number isn't important and neither are the presents. I just like to have time with the people I care about. I would love nothing more than to spend time with every single friend and family member tomorrow but I will get to spend it with my students and my wonderful roommates which will be just perfect. Each birthday brings new thoughts and ideas to my head and this year is no different. I could not be more grateful for the people that I am blessed to have in my life. Going home reminded me of all the relationships that I will get to come home to but also that I will be leaving behind some very remarkable people that have greatly impacted my life forever. This year has definitely been yet another turning point in my life and I will never regret having done this. God always knows what He is doing and I'm so glad I had the courage to trust in Him. Tonight I will be going to sleep with a smile on my face because I could not be feeling more blessed on the eve of my 23rd birthday.
