I heart my students

The other day I was talking to my mom about my students and how much I love them. I have picked out some of my favorites and it's been hard not to get attached to them. There is a group of them that are all best friends and have all been playing soccer together since they were in elementary school. It came time for them to try out for the high school team and all of them made it but two, some of my favorite two. I found as I was driving home from school I started crying thinking about how sad it was that they didn't make it. I have become pretty attached to a lot of these students and I find that when they are sad, I'm sad. I want them to succeed and be the best they can. I can see the potential in all of them. I love that I can become close to my students but it makes me sad to think that I'll leave and probably never see them again :(

I completely understand... I'll only be in my classroom three and a half more times and I'm so sad because these are my first graders. The sweetest seven year olds I want to hear about them succeeding but I'll probably never see them again. It's okay though because you'll move on and you'll do amazing and you'll get attached every year and then let go. It's part of the life cycle of the students and teachers.

We can only listen to it if we listen to it 5 million times like we did with My Humps!
