This is our last evening together as Level 1 class. There will be no massages performed tonight. Instead we'll light candles, listen to music, share a meal and exchange presents. Each instructor prepared individual "goodie bags" for the students, to thank them for the trust and enthusiasm they brought with them every Thursday evening.
We sit in a circle, take pictures, eat, drink and talk. I couldn't be more proud of them, and yet I wish I didn't have to say "good bye". Of course, I will see them in the hallways, in my clinic and even on Facebook. I make sure they know they are welcome to contact me in any way they see fit, at any time, next week or next decade. We all need a strong support system in this profession, and I hope they make me part of theirs. It has been an interesting, fun and challenging semester, and I can't wait to meet my new Level 1 students, so we can do this all over again!
