The last week of my practicum was rather relaxed.  I was celebrating my time with the students and knew that I had made it.  I worked so incredibly hard and I wanted to celebrate my own hard work along with the students’ hard work together.  This meant enjoying our last day with treats and a movie.  Burnt popcorn and running around to thank all those who helped me was very rewarding.  I shed some tears when a student of mine presented me with a ceramic heart.  It said “thank you” and I burst into tears.  This student on the first day of teaching her class, came off as a bit arrogant and maybe even a bit mean.  Little did I know that getting to know this student was one of the most gratifying experiences ever.  Lots of hugs went all around.  I will miss all those who have supported me along the way.  🙂
