Re: TCH Revisited
Chemteach, you are giving your students more than you imagine. It sounds like all of you have been on a real journey together. And that is something they will always remember. And be better people for having done so. Your being out sick a day or two is also a lesson in real life. You have been an example of strength and also let them know we are all vulnerable too, sometimes.
I was very moved by your story of their thoughtfulness and kindness.
As has been said before, you are in the home stretch now! The worst is in the rear view mirror! You will find Herceptin much more tolerable
Keep the faith.
