The last couple of weeks have been extremely bittersweet! I've experienced a lot of "lasts" and the realization that I am indeed graduating and moving on to the next chapter of my life.
One of my first lasts was my last day of student teaching. These kids have taught me so much and helped me to become the best teacher I can possibly be. I love each and every one of them and miss them so much already!
my farewell note to my students...
...and the many notes I received back in return :)
This was our last day of seminar with one of my favorite professors. I still can't believe I'm finished!
As if everything wasn't already exciting enough, I went home last week during finals week (since I didn't have any) and was surprised with this little beauty! This is my graduation present from my mom & dad and I couldn't be more in love!
Graduation weekend begins...

University of Dayton, Class of 2013
Such an amazing last couple of weeks it has been. I am officially a graduate of UD and couldn't be more happy with the decision I made four years ago in deciding where to attend college. Dayton has truly become my second home and has been a place that has shaped the young woman I am today. I have made lifelong friends, had the most amazing experiences, and received an education so that I can fulfill my dream of becoming a teacher. I feel confident that I am ready for this next chapter in my life, but will never forget the wonderful memories I made these last four years. Thanks to my friends and family and especially my parents for their unconditional love and support. Next step: one last Daytona trip to celebrate! :)
