As I stood in my empty classroom today I found myself thinking about how things are different this year from last year. Last year I left my classroom thinking I wasn't coming back. I was convinced that I was going to be trying out a new career path. Needless to say that didn't work out and I am still teaching. In some ways I am glad this happened because over the last year I have rediscovered my love of teaching. After 3 years of infertility it is refreshing to be living my life again.
