Is it Over... a wonderful experience!

How do I say that I'm both sad and joyful? I've got total mixed emotions... this experience has been both lovely and frightening! It's been 13 weeks of pure joy and getting to know 52 amazing 4th graders! That's right... I got to know both classes of 4th graders and there are 26 in each class! I was able to teach the other 4th grade class my unit that I did for my work sample with my other class! It was on the Water Cycle and it ROCKED! I had my days where I just wanted to quit, but I fought through it by crying a little or just working harder! Then, in the end... here I am! Finished! I passed student teaching and can now pretty much look for a job! I'm both excited and scared! I still have one test to pass, but I know with faith I can do it! I am FOREVER thankful for the opportunity I have had with these students, and I think that I will go back and visit with them often (if I didn't... they wouldn't be happy)! Well, I think I'll end with a song that kinda expresses my feelings... It's usually a song with a relationship, but well... think of it in terms of having to leave a wonderful class and starting a new journey... teachers will definitely understand this!

Lyrics to It's Not Over :
My tears run down like razorblades
And no, I'm not the one to blame
It's you ' or is it me?
And all the words we never say
Come out and now we're all ashamed
And there's no sense in playing games
When you've done all you can do

But now it's over, it's over, why is it over?
We had the chance to make it
Now it's over, it's over, it can't be over
I wish that I could take it back
But it's over

I lose myself in all these fights
I lose my sense of wrong and right
I cry, I cry
It's shaking from the pain that's in my head
I just wanna crawl into my bed
And throw away the life I led
But I won't let it die, but I won't let it die

But now it's over, it's over, why is it over?
We had the chance to make it
Now it's over, it's over, it can't be over
I wish that I could take it back

I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart
Don't say this won't last forever
You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart
Don't tell me that we will never be together
We could be, over and over
We could be, forever

I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart
Don't say this won't last forever
You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart
Don't tell me that we will never be together
We could be, over and over
We could be, forever

It's not over, it's not over, it's never over
Unless you let it take you
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over
Unless you let it break you
It's not over
