Adjourning

I can think back to when I was working on my Bachelors and I was working with a group of ladies, and we really made a connection.  It was not hard to leave the group, because we made time outside of school to get together to catch up with everyone.  The group was a great way that got us all introduced to each other.  It is interesting now to see all those same people on Facebook, and to see how their lives have changed since school. 

I think that the hardest group that I had to leave was my college group.  It was the ending of a past and the creation of a new beginning.  I truly miss my professors that I had.  I spent so much of my time figuring out who I was as a person, and they were there to watch it happen.  It was sad to leave the comfort of the setting, because it was one of the first places I felt like I had found myself. 

I think that these Master classes have created the same type of environment for me.  I have grown as a person, and I have communicated with a lot of individuals that share my passion for these young children.  I know that when these classes are over, I am going to be returning to some blogs to see if they keep it up, just to keep in contact.  There is so much that I have learned from listening to others stories.

I think of adjourning as the closing of a chapter.  It is not the end of the book, just the end of that section.  There is so much more that the story has to tell, and it just is not over yet.  You feel a sense of accomplishment when the one chapter is complete, but it makes you excited for the other chapters to come!
