Cassie I finally did it, I completed my degree after my husband’s death. The last few years have been rough, raising two kids on my own and getting a job in elementary education. I’ve been teaching for three years. This year, I get all the kids that no one else wanted. The ones that if one didn’t think of doing it, the other ones did. This is the year that will either make me or break me. This is my class of kindergarteners and our year together. This is the year that I meet another man that makes my heart pitter-patter. He is also the one that at first, I wanted to punch in the face.
