Tough decisions

Today will probably be the saddest, most heartbreaking day of my life.  Today marks my last day of work for Williams Elementary after school program.  I taught 5/6th grade, along with extreme science with first grade and photography with third through sixth for enrichment.  Although the job was difficult and I am not as passionate about teaching as I am writing, I never realized how attached I grew to my kids.  I am going to miss them tremendously.  Fifth and sixth grade is an extremely difficult group of students to work with, but they are each wonderful children.   I wish I didn't have to say goodbye.
  Do to work/school conflicts, I had to leave one of my most important major classes 45 minutes early everyday to go to work, which was killing my grade in that class and frustrating my professor.  In addition, it is my goal to take a leadership position in one of my two clubs but work runs right through my meetings.  In the long run this is the correct decision.  It will allow me to pursue my career, which far outweighs this or any job.  That doesn't mean that I won't miss it though...
