"What is the essence of tears?
The hope of tomorrow, knowing that you will see clearly again
Knowing that the pain you feel will someday end
Knowing that your fears you hear will dry up this river..." (What Pains Me?)
Yesterday, I got my first official suprise party! My students threw me a going away suprise party because my last day would be Friday and they wanted me to feel special.
It was amazing to see these little kids (Grades 5-8) laughing and joking with me. It almost made me NOT want to go back to school and stuff. But I know I have to leave them and even though I am going, I hope I have had a positive inpact on them.
Anyway, I knew about the whole thing, but I pretended to be surprised. I don't know that I am the best role model for these kids, and hearing them say "I want to be just like you" overwhelms me because I wonder if I am capable of carrying that honor. Oh Well! I don't have a choice now because I am like "demi-god" to some. So I am going to aim to be "like totally" awesome!
On the real though, I will refrain from sounding "un-afrocentric" at all times henceforth so that you guys don't think I have become so "Connecticut" and forgotten my roots! Hello, CT...here I come officially, in two days...HELP!
