~:[CH12 - Day 74]:~ Milestones
I've been doing this for so long. Actually, it's been so long, they gave me a pin in recognition of being old, I mean for doing this for so long. As I went up, I thought about the first group I brought to New York. Just out of college, I thought, what were the parents thinking leaving me to care for them. Fast-forward so many years later and now I've brought close to 800 student to this conference in New York. There definitely were the good moments and the bad, the challenging weather, the delays, the fatigue and even being chased by the pandemic. So many years later, I'm still standing here alongside them all, some who are siblings of those who came before and before you know it, I'll have children of my former students. Milestones are always interesting because they make you reflect and think back to all the memories and experiences you have, jumbled in a ball that I will carry with me for the remainder of my life. I am truly Blessed to work with so many great students and no matter how many times they were later or how many white hairs I gained due to them, they've definitely made moments like today even more special. To all those past and present, thank you so much and to those who will join me in the future, let's continue to make amazing memories.
