when i got my first job at an elementary school - i cried my eyes out on the last day when i had to say goodbye. i had to take my sunglasses off my head and put them on my face - and i was INSIDE! i could barely breathe i was crying so hard. i shocked myself - cus i'm really not a crier. i REALLY didn't think i'd cry, and i cried all the way home.

it gets easier though. i will run into kids that i had 2-3 years ago and it's so sweet when they run up to me.

i think it does become part of the job. i love the kids and i know i'll miss them - but i can say goodbye without breaking down. i know i'll see them again. it's hard to explain.
