Last Day with my Class!

Going into teaching I guess I had hoped to make a difference.  To offer children the opportunities and support that I had been given throughout my own life, something I am so lucky to have had and I know that not everyone is as fortunate as I am to get.  But never in my life did I ever fathom the way my students would make a difference in my own life!  They have inspired me to be the best teacher I possibly can be, and they have shown me such profound love and admiration that it pains me to say goodbye.  I have loved every last minute of being their teacher, and I will never forget the way they made me feel...Loved, respected, inspired, and capable of conquering the world!

Sasa, one of my younger students who pushed through showing that she can do anything she sets her mind to.

Dawin, a natural leader she loves to take control and be the boss.  I'm sure she will be a wonderful Business Woman!


Malachi, mature beyond his years! He loves stories and is one of the most imaginative kids I know!


Yuth, barely knew any english when I started and is now one of my top readers.  He works so hard and is bound to do wonderful things in the future!

Our last day together we celebrated Yuth and Sawa's Birthdays



Casey, once unable to play has now let her hair down.  I love seeing her laugh and play with her friends.

Panha, a perfectionist at heart.  He is one of the best behaved boys always being an excellent example for his friends!

Alex, despite some learning difficulties he is now speaking and able to interpret emotions.  He is the first to come up and ask if I am ok when hurt, rubbing my back and giving me hugs.




Dana (hand raised), beautiful on the inside and out!  She is good at everything she does!
Veda (sitting), purely kind and always wants to do good by everyone.  Her empathy and understanding for others gives me goosebumps, and makes me want to be a better person just like her!


Jacky, curious about everything!  His energy for life and for learning make me so proud!

Brian, tries his best to please everyone!  He is one of the younger and smaller boys but he has the biggest heart! He always cracks me up with his little comments, like handing in his work and saying "special delivery"! He is such a character!

Aliza, quick to adapt and steel your heart.  She is one that is quietly confident and everyones friend!



Billy, happiest kid you'll ever meet.  Loves helping the teacher!

Lido, biggest personality! I like to call him the question master, because he is so curious to understand everything around him.



Abby, my little monkey.  She always on the move and often thinks I am something to climb on.

Reiyance, her facial expressions are boundless.  When I am mad she likes to inform the class that my heart has been broken. "Teachers heart broke"



My beautiful classroom and wonderful students have provided me with a lifetime of memories that will never be forgotten.  Thank you.
