Final Bell

The bell rang today.

And my kids all stood still, turned to statues by the sound that usually sent them scurrying to their seats. They stood still. Then, some of them started to cry. And then, they all began to hug each other.

They wouldn't leave. My divas, my trouble-makers, my clowns all coagulating in the middle of my room.

Some days are exhausting, but I love my kids and my job. I am so proud of everything they've learned. The worst part, by far, is seeing them walk out my door.
