Saying Goodbye

I always hate saying goodbye. Even though it was only nine weeks we shared victories and challenges with these kids and I think it's hard not to get attached. It's so fun to watch them discover and learn. I didn't get to know them as well as I might in nine months and I'll be doing the clinic again next semester. Otherwise I think it would be much harder to let them go. There were kids in our group that presented more of a challenge. I thought it was a good learning experience. It made me even more excited to be a teacher. For some reason when your struggling with a student it makes it more satisfying when they improve. I love that feeling. I think it's impossible not to get attached to students you work with so closely. Since I'm going into special education I'll have the same kids for a couple years. I can't imagine how hard it will be to let them go.
