Thank you all

Thank you for making this past five months so memorable. I am so glad that I had the chance to share your writing this past semester. Each and every one of you is a treasure. You all have so many wonderful poems and stories to share. There just never seemed to be enough minutes in the class. I have loved every minute I spent with you. There may be other writing classes in my future, but there will never be another first writing class.
I wish all of you the best of luck always. Please keep writing; writing can set you free, it can mend a broken heart and it can keep you in touch with people who are far away. It would be great if you kept blogging; that way we will all stay a little connected to one another.  Go out in the world and follow your dreams, but remember that you all have a special place in my heart.

Okay all

Okay all,
This is one final post for the year. Write about this blogging experience here on your blog. Make a promise to keep writing so that I don't lose touch with you and your lovely words.
It has been such a pleasure to share this year with you all. I admire each and every one of you more than I can say. I will treasure this time. I know that you all will do wonderful and amazing things with your lives and I am happy that I have had the chance to witness your growth and change during your time at Elgin.
