I found some colleagues who just GOT ME, and who I got as well. I'm happy I had the opportunity to know them and I'll be sad to lose that part of my life.
I made good friends with a few of my adults students, and I believe we'll keep in touch forever.
And I can really see the potential in some of my students -- these folks will do amazing things in the future. And be funny while doing it. I’ll miss the verbal sparring.
