Next year I get to reinvent myself as a teacher. I will no longer teach a class I have taught for 18 years and will be teaching a new class with material I am not yet comfortable. I am also planning to revamp the yearbook as I am tired of the same old lineup.

@dkzody A comment on your comment…
“Education is the one career where you have a clean stop and start each year.”
That is so true. It seems every year I am ready to stop by December and reinvent myself again with a start of a new year. I am still at the point in my career where each year is so very different than the previous one. I often tell kids who come back to visit that they would not even recognize our class anymore it has changed so much…whether they graduated ten years ago or one year ago.

Education is the one career where you have a clean stop and start each year. You can always see the end of the tunnel.

This is our first year without 2 weeks at xmas so we’re out on June 5th. Normally we’re out about a week later. So it’s a novelty this year to be done “early”. Hang in there. The nice thing is that it actually does come to an end and you get to start over. Fresh.
