What I see in my students...

This is the second day back to school after Christmas break.
I see tired faces, eager faces, distracted faces, hopeful faces. In a week, I see over 500 students. Once a week they come into my classroom. I want them to know that even though it may not seem like much time, I see them. I look into their eyes and silently pray for love and joy during our time together. If they learn a bit more Spanish, great. If they feel our time together has been a highlight in the day, better yet!
I may forget a name, but I see them.
