This is the end of another year of teaching But it is the beginning of a respite for the body and soul This is the end of another year of testing and calculating But it is the beginning of several months with no benchmarks This is the end of rushing to meet deadlines and multitasking But it is the beginning of a season of being in the moment This is the end of worrying about keeping everyone on task But it is the beginning of a season of letting go This is the end of frantic lunch breaks and early morning meetings But it is the beginning of days that begin and end naturally This is the end of worrying about assessment, particularly your own But it is the beginning of being the person you choose to be This is the end of one year in your life that you can't change But it is the beginning of another year that you can Happy Summer to All!
