They're really lucky to have you as a teacher. You are indeed very special. Teaching can be so difficult (my elder sister is a teacher at high school). I just admire the fact that you love your job and as i said surely your pupils will always remember you..<BR/><BR/>a big hug to you<BR/>LalaMy Castle in Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14572760890022593531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-72810526434360072782008-09-13T14:58:00.000-05:002008-09-13T14:58:00.000-05:00Relyn,I found myself tearing up as I read this pos...Relyn,<BR/>I found myself tearing up as I read this post ~ Beautifully writtened and shared. I read my children the book September 12th, but I wish I had told them like you did what it really means to us who lived through it. I was there with you ~ same school, same first year of teaching there and met Anita in the hall and she mouthed the words to me (she had kids with her) and I ran to the Library and watched in disbelief with other teachers ontheir breaks what was so unbelievable. I will never forget.

I just thought of the priest, who had gone in to save people too, and ended up dying. There were so many heroes that day!Teal Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320128780782863514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-75934799329706752142008-09-12T17:43:00.000-05:002008-09-12T17:43:00.000-05:00Relyn,You are exactly the kind of teacher that the...Relyn,<BR/><BR/>You are exactly the kind of teacher that these children will remember 40 years from now. The way you take care of so many minds and hearts is just as wonderful and brave as those firemen and rescue workers. You help to create compassionate and wonderful people.
