~:[CH9 - Day 141]:~ Just as Golden
The thought of it was kind of sad. I wouldn't be taking pictures and wouldn't have the chance to hand my awards to those who earned them and continue the tradition I've experienced since I became a teacher. It is an even more special day as one of the medallions I won was from my Chemistry teacher who I was inspired by, who has since passed away. The ceremony always reminds me of her and those precious moments I had while in high school. Regardless, the ceremony went on and instead of continuing that feeling of disappointment, it became joy as the ceremony felt as good as a virtual event could be. Although the joy of going on stage and handing off those certificates wasn't in the plans for this ceremony, it was just as golden. I know there are those that will be upset that it was a virtual ceremony, but I hope they understand the work that it took to piece it together. Yesterday I talked about just how long a one period lecture took to make and this is no different. People slaved away to spend extra time piecing it together and I was amazed at the results. I was so grateful that there were those who would take the time and effort to do this for the students and the reality is, no matter the final piece that comes out, everyone involved deserves the credit. (Much appreciation to all of you!) Of course, this night belongs to the students and I was glad that they still were able to get recognized for all the good things that they do for the classroom. As always, there were so many people I wanted to give these awards to, but alas, we're limited to a handful of choices who definitely shined. While it's sad to have this special evening pass without the traditions I have grown used to, I still ended the night grateful that this evening was just as golden.
