Seniors, Act IV

The seniors gathered today to ride the bus to a graduation practice. They were officially finished with all of their classes. While I was eating my lunch in my quiet room, here they all came, every senior in the class. They crowded into my desks, and they cheered in their own way. In a way, it was their standing on the desks, stating, "O Captain, My Captain," like the class of 2013. On the way out of the door, one of my favorite kids from the class, Michael, put his arm around me and said, "I'm really going to miss you, man."

Not any more than I am going to miss you, Michael.
