Birthday parties make school fun...

The spring babies (now adults) in my class are celebrating the aniversaries (again) of their 21st birthdays... one more year of wisdom and knowledge to add onto the chapter book of life. Surprise parties, picnics, and planned celebrations sprinkle the weekends during this final spring term. Unwrapping surprise presents and delving into decadent birthday cake makes the end of the year a little less tortuous.

I cannot say enough positive things about my classmates.  The students have made this experience and transition well-worth the 2,700 mile plane trip across the United States.

Birthdays are a time to celebrate one's life, and I am so fortunate to share these fun moments with incredibly interesting and compassionate students (and future RN's) who will make a tremendous difference in the world.

 Here's to another year of life, and one year completed (with one more to go...) in the SON!
