I can't believe school is ending again. Last week, I went to a party for a former student who had just graduated from medical school! Every now and then, someone will tell me they plan to study German as a major or go into linguistics as a profession. I can't tell you how much it means to a teacher to hear that. I want to know what my students are doing when they leave my classroom. I invest so much of myself into them, and I must admit, some students are great about letting me know they appreciate me too. I already miss them. Am I a sentimental sap or what?
