New Chapter

I have just had a life changing experience.  One of those moments that truly tests your mettle; one that celebrates your strengths and exposes your weaknesses which, in turn, presents you with no other option but to grow or perish.

For four years, I was a teacher.

The best group of kids a teacher could ask for.

This morning, after returning from the Farewell Tour with my students in Scotland, marks the first morning I did not make the 40 minute drive to school.  And I'm a little sad.  And I'm a little excited.  It's time for a new chapter.

There will be more foodie fun in the not too distant future. 

But today, I would like to thank every student, every teenaged actron unit, and every colleague I have had the honor and privilege to work alongside.  You have made me a better teacher, a stronger person, and you have taught me to value all of life's experiences.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
