Feeling emotional as I say goodbye to my Friday Year 9 group.
One of my students gave me the most beautiful presents—a candle with crystals and a card that brought tears to my eyes. In that moment, I realised it’s not just us as teachers who get to know our students; they truly get to know us, too.
She said, “I thought, I bet Georgina has loads of candles and crystals in her house.”
She was right. And I was deeply touched.
We’ve been on a journey together since Year 7, and I’m so proud of each of them. But what means even more is what they’ve taught me—about emotions, compassion, and kindness.
I wish I could tell my mum. She’d be smiling, saying, “Told you, teaching is the best.”
She was right, too.
A huge amount of respect to all teachers and teaching assistants out there. I only teach small groups—I genuinely don’t know how you all do it with 30 in a room. I take my hat off to you.
To summer 🙏🏽
