You know that point where you really don't know what to do anymore?
I'm there.
So much about this year has just straight up been overwhelming. I'm grateful for friends and family that support me, because without them, I don't know where I'd be right now.
But, then something happens to make you realize why we do what we do.
After school, yesterday, a friend convinced me to leave school for a bit and go relax, chat, and share a plate of fried pickles (YUM). While there, I received a phone call asking when I'd be back at school because a former student was looking for me.
Long story short, a student that graduated 7 years ago came to track me down at the restaurant to personally deliver a wedding invitation. I felt so honored that this young lady, whom I've only kept up with via social media, wanted me to share in her special day so many years after the fact.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why it is all worth it.

Here you loud and clear, I keep looking and parsing and planning and end up with...nothing useful. OY. Have a good one dear. I got a hug this week from a student who is moving, who said, "Thanks for being my ally." Yup, even in math we can find a heart to touch.
