June 9th 2013 Two Days Left....

Dear Mr. Belzberg,

Don't forget how far you have come and how far you will go.  Remember hope lies in the essence of the stars and trusting faith.  As you grow old and become a better teacher and are able to remain positive under any conversation or circumstance that is when you become distinguished.  Don't forget you loves you and who has helped and supported you through each challenge and problem you had to solve.  Never fail to be thankful to the ones who have given your respect and a chance even though you may have not deserved it.  When you read this, don't think about the where you are in the present day.  Go back to the state of mind where you were when you finished your first year teaching and Mac Middle school and you struggled and learned so very much.  Go back to this day when you had the opportunity to fulfill a quest and ambition that started with a personal volition many years prior.  Be proud of who you are and what you have learned and be sensitive and have open ears with what you will learn.

Sincerely,


--The teacher who is excited to help young people achieve their goals.

Mac 7th - End of May - June 1st

There is only 6 days of school left and this will be my first year completed.  The learning that has taken place is one that has surpassed my expectations.  I have done as much as I have been asked and more.  Arriving at 6:30 AM and leaving around 4:15 PM on a daily basis has given me the ability to make a bigger impact.  This school year has been a huge success.

Completing so much in such a short amount of time is something to be proud and happy about.  Yet, I have the challenge now of out-doing and out-performing last years efforts.  With a fiance and new home this will require more focus and effort to accomplish what needs to be done for these young people.

The students have inspired in so many ways and given me more lessons than I could ever ask.  They have enlightened me and gain my care and love within a short amount of time.

I'm hopeful that this group doesn't leave my memory to soon and that they all go on to college and make the world a better place whether large or small and that they remember the small lessons as well as the big ones that helped shape them into great people.

"It is not ignorance, but knowledge that is mother of wonder" --Joseph Wood Krutch

Never stop learning and chasing knowledge!
