End-of-year blues

The squirrel in the ceiling of the Latin classroom is making some pretty disconcerting noises...even for him (or her).

So there I was, studiously grading my finals last night, ( when Kim shows up. )

It sucks that you weren't allowed to hug them or anything. That's a joke when you consider all the time and energy you've invested in the kids, obviously you're going to get attached to them - hell, I did when I worked in a Primary School as a classroom assistant, and that was only for two weeks. And i'm a guy, we don't do all that soppy emotional stuff ;-)

I find myself plagued with their futures: will they continue to progress? Will they fall through the cracks because no one sees what I see? Will they...? I'm not sure I'm a strong enough person for this job. I mean, I've thought that on & off all semester, as situations arose for which I didn't feel prepared, but this part is nuts.

Maybe at this point in time you're not strong enough for the job, but you'll learn that as you get more experience. The very fact that you do take that much interest in the kids and care about how they turn out so much proves to me that you're the right person for the job, even if you've got your doubts at the moment. As unhelpful as saying it is, ( ... )
