Observations of a High School Sub-last day

Because I did a long term "sub" job I actually worked until the last day of school. Making sure grades were in and packing the classroom. This is not the norm for subs. As I was going through the students projects and papers and saying my goodbyes, I was very grateful for the opportunity I was given. I don't really know if the girls will remember me, or if I make any real difference in their lives but I will remember them and they did make a difference in mine.

Their challenges were so vast I find it necessary to step out of my bubble and into different worlds, and right here, down the road... 10 miles or so... a very different world from mine exist. It sure does challenge my thinking and my reasoning but most of all it has challenged my prayer life. Because in the end, that is the only thing meaningful I can do for theses students who are now out of my sphere.

As hard as they were.....I will miss them. I am grateful I was given the opportunity to make theses observations of a High School sub. And I move on to my summer role....being the Mother of a soon to be bride
