“Closing time -time for you to go out, go out into the world.
Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl.
Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from.
Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or you sisters
come.
So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found a friend.
Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.”

This song seems to sum up the bitter sweet endings and new beginnings for the seniors at graduation. I love being a teacher and I have to say that every group of students teaches me as much and I think more than I teach them. I consider everyone of these amazing young people to have been a gift to my life and I am honored to have had the opportunity to share the journey with them.
Go forth and be well.

Aww Pam, it is bitter sweet. One is so happy for them but on the other hand it's hard when you realize you might not see them again.
Lovely pics to treasure the memory. Love the one where two students are towering over you!
Yes always bitter sweet. At 4ft. 11in. I think EVERYONE towers over me :-)
