My students have finally admitted that I am going to cry on the last day of school.

My students are not big into affection, but this week they started giving me hugs and telling me how proud they are of me. They have finally admitted that I am a human being and not just their teacher. <br><br>I cried last year at the end of the year and I'm crying this year. I have a class that I see over multiple years. I've had this group of students since they were freshmen. <br><br>They have all finally admitted that I'm going to cry on the last day of school. I have promised them a group hug and to cry on their shoulders. <br><br>This class has been through so much and they all deserve to walk across that stage and get their diploma. I am so proud of all of them. I will probably cry again in August when I see them at their freshman orientation for college.<br><br>Love all of you - especially those that have earned the title of "my babies."
