In Full Flight

Today my class graduated.
My first Form 4- Form 5 Biology class.
My first teaching experience class.
Not an inherited class.
My class.
As I saw them smiling in their seats I wondered whether I gave them everything they needed to go out and do well.
Did I give enough advice?
Enough guidance?
Sigh...I couldn't help but feel this sense of apprehension.
So innocent. So much they did not yet know.
Before the sadness could fully envelope me, I started receiving some "notes" and words of comfort

" i just wanted to say that you are a wonderful teacher and thanks for teaching me. its so great that you instilled very valuable information in me that i can use very wisely today. i hope you have alot of fun with the new upper sixes as you did with us."

"Thanks Miss"

"Miss you could add me on FB now! I graduate! Love you Miss!"

Well...you get the idea. So I hold on to the hope that their paths though not perfect, will be filled with experiences that allow them to learn and thrive...fly...
