Bowl of Inspiration

Yesterday, it was my 55th birthday so my students gave me a birthday party and this was one of the gifts I got from them: a bowl of inspiration. In each of the (55+) rolled papers, they wrote the things they will remember about me. Some made me smile, some made me laugh and some almost made me cry. All in all, they remind me why I teach and why I must continue to teach for as long as I can.
