I am thankful for the lifelong friends that I made my 1st year of teaching. Without those girls I'm not sure if I would've stayed in North Carolina. They are a very important part of my life. I thank God everyday for bringing them into my life. That first year we laughed, we cried, we sympathized, we laughed some more, but most importantly we made sure that we were there for each other. Thank you for being there for me and for each other. To 14 more years of teaching!!!!
