My last few days as a teacher and coach at Hillcrest Christian School were very emotional. I invested five years into the school and its students, and I had coworkers and invested in me and prayed for me constantly.
Administration: Thank you for taking a chance on me. It meant at lot to me, and I took seriously the task you put before me. I hope you look back on that decision with happiness and contentment.
Coworkers: Your prayers and encouragement helped get me through those bad days that all teachers have.
Students: You were absolutely unforgettable. I will miss the laughter and the challenges. I am thankful to God that he allowed me to teach you.
I began work as a 25-year-old bachelor and left married with two kids. God could not have put me in a better place for those years in my life.
It seems silly that such mundane actions--cutting off the lights and closing a door--could mean so much, but they do. I will miss this school and you people dearly.
I pray that God blesses you.
