No, not my own!
My mom's!
My mom has been in education for over 25 years! Isn't that crazy, amazing? When her name was called (at her district's board meeting this evening) and she accepted the 500 handshakes, I totally teared up. I am so proud of her and incredibly happy for Mama to start this next chapter! The sky is the limit and she still has a lot of work to do.
As a kid, I remember seeing my mom in her "teacher" role many times. Now, as a teacher, I better understand that you don't really turn off the "teacher" mode. It stays on...constantly humming in the background. This one time she was making cupcakes...for her students (when such a thing was still allowed). I was like cool! My mom made me cupcakes! She said no, they were for her kids. Baffled, I didn't question this.
I remember the days of sorting papers and organizing classrooms. Packing up boxes and moving books. I've been along on some of this ride with her.
Over the years I would see kids fall in love with my mom and her teaching...my own kids (students) included! She has this way about her. She's mom.
Mom. I am excited for you. This is a new adventure, and I have a feeling it's going to be incredible. I couldn't be more proud to call you my mom...and my first teacher.
Happy Retirement!
XO,
Your daughter
