Small Gifts

I got to school today and found this sitting in front of my computer:


A cute bag filled with candy and this note from one of my students:

(I taught her brother in 5th grade about 8 years ago)

This was something I really needed.  The last week and a half have been really hard for me for so many reasons and on so many different levels.  This weekend was kind of a breaking point for me and I ran away from home for a few hours.  I'm pretty sure this student noticed me trying to keep things together while talking to a co-worker yesterday morning.  It's nice to know that someone noticed and tried to do something about it.  Although, if she had given this to me yesterday, I would have completely lost it.  Don't worry, things are better now. I'm glad I can make school a welcoming place and that I'm so entertaining.
