My Parents Visited

So this past Sunday, I graduated... again! Sort of...

I walked at the Tufts commencement two days ago to symbolize receiving my Masters Degree, despite the fact that I have two more independent study math classes to complete in the next six weeks. Eek! However, the good news is that my internship is officially over (as I am now officially substitute teaching - see previous post), and the spring semester is also officially over (I rocked my classes, by the way). I am sooo close to completing my degree, and then I will officially be a Massachusetts licensed high school math teacher. I am sooo stoked!!!

Because of this momentous occasion, my dear parents visited all the way from California. And the best part was that they visited me and my students at school. They shadowed me for an entire today, so they met the students in both of my math classes and my seminar. And it was awesome! The students were so excited to meet my parents, saying "Oh my god, Ms. Wallace! Are these your parents? You look just like your mom! Are they proud of you? Oh my god, your dad is just as corny." It was incredible. And I loved watching my parents interact with my students. Now they have a taste of the fabulous craziness I experience every day. As I always say, there's never a dull moment at BAA.

So thank you, Mom & Dad, for being so supportive throughout my FIVE years at Tufts, especially through my intense internship this year. I could not possibly ask for better parents. I love you.
