Hard to digest. I guess I should express my emotion in writing \u2013things I hoped to have said in person. Here it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Thank you all for bringing me so much joy. I haven\u2019t laughed as much with any cohort of students as I have with you guys this year. Honestly, every day I would drive home with a silly smirk on my face thinking of the fun we had during the day. With that said- I want to tell you how proud I am of each and every single one of you. You have all showed growth academically and socially this year and guess what \u2013next year you will show and achieve more. Life is not an easy ride. There will be days you want to scream into a pillow \u2013or simply rip that pillow apart. And, other days where you wish you could pause time-because everything in that moment seems perfect. It&#8217;s full of currents of up and down\u2014but don\u2019t ever be afraid to ride the wave. They say the hardest part of life is not dying\u2014it\u2019s living. Take care of your lives, your families, your friends, your neighbors. Be kind to yourself and to others. Learn to enjoy each moment. Learn to take risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, remember-a flower does not get the most water from a thunderstorm&#8212;it gets the most from a funnel. I hope you when you run\u2014your spirit runs faster than your feet and when you dream\u2014it takes you to the corners of your smile. Goodbye students. And, thank you for the best year ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Farewell2020\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T5szAFxcR-s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Farewell.
