Girls on the Run Follow-Up

A few weeks ago, Sweet Student and I completed her first 5k race.  It was a blast! And now, her sweet family totally blessed me with this video of our day. 

 

I just had to share, because it affirms that even through all the tough stuff and long days and data and Common Core, THIS is why I am a teacher.  These relationships totally make everything else worth it.

Trying to still be taller than Sweet Student's older brother and my former student (I may be cheating...) 

Thanks for sharing this experience with me, Sweet Student!  You and your family made me feel so special!
