Happy Tuesday! To all of you parents, adults, and kids out there, this may just be a normal Tuesday to you. Nothing really exciting, and just going about your day doing your normal routine. Birthday's are special, Christmas is special.. People are always looking forward to something to celebrate on special occasions.
Today's occasion for me is finishing my high school career. This time last year, I didn't ever think I would graduate high school. I thought I was going to just give up because I was so frustrated and did not look forward to going to school any day of the week. It all felt impossible because everything became so overwhelming. It took quite a bit of time for me to gain confidence again, and lose some of the "school dreading". It wasn't easy, and I never thought it was possible.
I'm here to tell you that it is possible, even when you are in a place where everything is almost impossible there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel to walk towards. It may take you longer than the person standing next to you, but who really cares about that? Nobody. Nobody should test you to see how fast you got there. It's not a race as much as you think it is. I always thought it was because everyone around me has been competitive since day one. That's how I screwed up big time. I because overwhelmed with time, and when I finished things for my classes, and when I was going to finally pass a test. None of that matters now. It was something I really didn't need to stress about, because in the end, no matter how long it took me I still made it to this day.
I know as parents you must feel like your child will never get out of there, but it's not impossible.
So really I am just blogging to tell you that it is possible to graduate. It is possible to do anything your little heart desires. So go out there and prove to the world you CAN DO IT.

Teacher Appreciation Week:
If you didn't already know, teacher appreciation week starts today! It is a whole week to appreciate them for all of their hard work, patience, being a part of our daily lives, and much much more.

It really bothers me how little respect teachers get sometimes. In my opinion, being a teacher is the most important job in the world. Think about it... These educators are preparing children to become future leaders of the world. What is taught in the front of each classroom will impact thousands of students' futures and what it has to hold. Teachers don't just preach about their subjects, they teach their kids about life. They make it possible for their students to succeed, and to me having that possibility is so pure.
I am at school for seven hours every day Monday through Friday. Teachers are a part of my life if I like it or not, and I like it. The teachers are not the reason I dread going to school some days. I dread it some days because of the environment. I honestly would hate school if my teachers didn't do what they did. All teachers have a contagious gift, and that gift is always given back to the world in some way, shape, or form -- Always! Good teachers are patient. They are inspiring and hard working. Kind and caring. They listen and are our role models. Great teachers are all of these things and leave an imprint in students' hearts.
When I graduate on May 23rd, my teachers are going to be the one's I miss and remember the most. They have been there for me every moment of my successes in school. They are the ones who have got me to where I will be proudly walking across the stage with my cap and gown on.
School was never easy for me. All of it was hard. Grade school, middle school, and high school... but with all of their above and beyond efforts to help me succeed by giving me the accommodations, and support I needed, I never felt alone. I had help all around me starting with day one of preschool when I needed help cutting my shapes or tying my shoes. "You can do it, Anna!" They were always right. I can do it.

Like I said before, they will be the one's I will remember and miss the most when I go off to college in the fall. They were always my cheerleaders, and made school so much more enjoyable for me knowing I had them cheering me on from the sidelines each and every day. Thank-you teachers, for ALL that you have done for me, and for the next kids. We appreciate you.
"Don't forget to tell all of those teachers that have helped you get where you are today how much you appreciate them. You must never forget to tell the one's you love how much they mean to you."
