So Friday was my very last day at Primrose where I teach Preschoolers. Like every job has its moments, but honestly I loved this job so much, I know KNOW KNOW teaching children is what I was meant to do with my life. This job was unlike any other. There was never days where I dreaded going to work, days where I just wished I could call in, even if something was not right at work with one thing, something else made it all worth going. That is why my last day there was for sure my most emotional last day ever from a job. I dreaded it all week. I really did. Not to mention that my awesome co-worker Susan who I just adore was sick for the first 2 days of the week. Friday snuck up so fast. By the time we were getting ready for the party I just started thinkin "wow, this is really it. What am I doing?? Im crazy! I love this job!" But the sad fact remains that life has to go on, Im getting married and I gotta go forward :)
The party was awesome, but the most amazing thing is that Susan and my other co-workers had organized our valentines party to also be a surprise goodbye party for me as well! I was so shocked! One of the parents made a beautiful 2 tiered heart cake and Susan had organized a bunch of parents to donate money to me for a Target giftcard. Well they raised $320!!!! I was so happy/surprised/felt so blessed that I cried like a baby in front of all the parents. I never expected anything like that and I felt so blessed that they were so kind in doing something like that for me.
TO SUSAN:
ohhhhh Susan, you had made work what it was for me. I appreciate your great strong example. Im so grateful that I could bond with you so well and because of that I truly know that work was so enjoyable. I know that sometimes people get the best of us, but I really look up to your ability to speak up and express how you feel. I appreciate your strong values and the awesome faith that you have in God. Im grateful that you always listened to every long story I had and always tried to give me direction and advice. I truly appreciate my time spent with you and all you did to help me grow!
I will try to get into another preschool in Utah... but i know my experience will never be quite like this one was, and I will take it with me forever.
