The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply (Denis Waitley)

This week marks the end of my time on the staff at Hastings Boys' High School. It's been real!

Thanksgiving was last week in America and I have a lot to thank Hastings Boys' for.

Thanks for the opportunity to get back into the classroom full-time. It's what I needed.

Thanks to the boys I've taught for their warm acceptance and generosity. I'm going to miss the handshakes and the playful sass. It's been fun.

Thanks to my colleagues on the staff - akina! respect! I've loved working in the English/maths block with people who have become friends. We've shared many laughs!

This week, it will be, as Robbie Robertson says at the end of The Last Waltz: Thank you, goodnight, goodbye.
