Hi Cathy!
I do understand. I worked my granddaughter's school book fair this week a couple of days and tons of memories swept over me. I had taught and been a librarian years ago, and then did something else later. I realized just how much teaching gives back to the teacher. I did have the chance to encourage the librarian there to stay put and enjoy. My guess is that this experience will allow you to encourage someone else and be a mentor to others. You may or may not get to complete your year, but my guess is you will be an inspiration to many in the years to come! Here's hoping you get your wish. mary anne
