I said goodbye to a major part of my life last week. Baudhuin preschool has been my home for 6.5 year. I have work with some of the best people, I have taught some amazing students, and had many opportunities to get to know some awesome families. It was a very emotional last week, and coming from someone who rarely cries (I happened to do it for almost 3 days in a row) that’s saying a lot. Some of the people from Baudhuin have become my family here in south Florida. My Best friends in SoFL used to work with me there; I thank God each day for them because I don’t know what I would do without them. The connections I have made with others is one I wont soon let go of; for them, its not goodbye just “see you later!”
It was never in my plan to stay at the preschool past my master’s (graduation this Friday WOOHOOO) but it doesn’t change the fact that it was difficult to walk out the door. As you go through life you sometimes forget little things that happened along the way. Over the weekend I looked through many of the pictures I have had since day one at Baudhuin. I even looked at pictures from before Baudhuin, when I worked as an individual aid. It reminds me how far I have come and how there are lessons to learn everyday; you just have to be willing to listen. I love my career choice because it does just that; gives you the chance to continuously learn.
Part of me still can not believe that the past 7 years have flown by but I am excited to start the next part of my life and this journey that is ahead of me. I know God has some amazing plans and I fully intend to follow His lead, its going to be an emotionally, eye opening experience.
