my weekend at home

This weekend I went home and it was fabulous.
While being in this program and learning all of the wonderful tools we have access to, I have thought a lot about the students I worked with at home. Unlike many of my fellow peers, I do not have a sibling or family member with a disability, so these students are my foundation. It was them I fell in love with, their personalities and the lessons they taught me that made me decide to study Special Education.
The 2 I am very closest to are twins and they mean the world to me. They call me from time to time and it just so happened that they called me while I was home. I was at the beach when I saw my favorite name pop up on my phone. We talked for a good long time and scheduled a time to see each other when I get back for Thanksgiving break.
It is really cool talking to them about the career I am pursuing because they are such strong supporters. They love the idea of me teaching and get so excited for me. As I talk to them I am able to see just how much they have really grown up and it gives me the chills. I love them and I can't wait to work so closely with such amazing students for the rest of my life.
