Yesterday was perfect, I had a reunion with my first kids. I was so nervous all morning but when I saw them I cried because I didn't see the adults in front of me, I saw them as I first saw them over 35 years ago, they were 9 and I was 24 years old again on Underhill Ave, in the P.S. 9 school yard. I have taught over 5,000 children over my career but these were my first kids. They made cry everyday, question my life goal everyday, lose my mind everyday and opened my heart everyday to understand that they were not my students for that year but my kids for life. They made me the teacher I am today. I can't wait to do it again. Kimberly Burns we are getting on that boat again.
