My WOW story looks a great deal different than last year’s. Where last year was a year of huge gains, this year has been a year of small increments. I am learning the value of patience and perseverance both for my students and for myself.

I am also learning that just because a student appeared to have mastered a skill at the beginning of the year does not mean that he or she still has that skill in their toolbox. This year has been a year where repetition and reteaching have been the norm.

However, I am so proud of my students and the accomplishments they have made. They are learning the value of patience and perseverance right alongside me. This is a journey we are taking together and I look forward to continuing that journey for as long as it takes. I feel blessed that God has allowed me to be a part of this learning community and that He continues to give me opportunities to share His message of love and salvation with the students in my care.
