Good Luck and Farewell!

As we all head off in our many different directions, I would just say good luck and congratulations to you all. To go into teaching is a very respectable choice. We all have different emphasis areas but I believe this picture is true. 'a teachers words can shape a life' We are being given the great opportunity to help the next generations of students form who they are going to become in life. To me, that is a great privilege. All of these words in this picture are different values and all mean something to each of us in our own way. If we can change even a few of our students' lives for the better, then we will be accomplishing something amazing. In "Edwin and Phyllis", we were faced with reading about the different downsides of teaching. Some of us liked that reading others did not. I think that it was a reading that really made us have to think of what we were really looking for by going into teaching and how exactly we could defend our reasoning and values of teaching. There will be ups and downs in our careers as teachers. It is something that we will all have to face and wade our way though. Again, good luck to everyone in the rest of your degrees and in your careers.
