A few more thoughts...

Thank you, Alina, for posting such a thoughtful song with which we can so nicely relate. We've had a few 'twists and turns of fate' this year. We fed on each other's energy all along and after so much hard work we've accomplished the goals we had set for ourselves. At this time of year, 'these small hours still remain.' I can't stress enough how proud of our team I've felt on so many occasions. More than ever before I've come to realize how much more we can achieve together. The results of our joint effort has been immensely more than the sum of each individual's work. As I'm finishing the last touches on our self-evaluation to present on Thursday, I see the amazing quality and quantity of the work done. Along the process, Alina, you've always set the tone with your inexhaustible energy and keen sensitivity. Your love of the school has permeated your work, and your initiative has led to the exploration of new paths for us all.

Omar, after going through every piece of work the 7th Year team has produced I feel proud once again of your strong drive to extend your knowledge and develop constantly. Fortunately there are no limits to your initiative at school. I know that Pimpa's and Paula's support has been crucial to produce so much, but, like them, I wanted to highlight the long hours, the passion and professionalism you've put into your work to raise the bar and keep the standards high for us all.

Janine, Adela, Caro, Elvira, it was such a relief to count on you to take care of the nitty-gritty to make High School Musical the resounding success it became. I'm sure we've all contributed to give the kids that took part some of their finest moments in their high school experience.

To all of the FAAPI speakers, I did not get a chance to attend any of the other workshops, but I felt like I had a great time with just the bunch of you. As I look at the pics again, the sense of pride comes back and remains stronger...

To the ones that for different reasons could not make it to Jujuy, thank you for keeping the ball rolling at school, and for your unconditional support and encouragement.

"There are no problems we cannot solve together; and very few that we can solve by ourselves." (Lyndon Johnson)

At the beginning, we shaped a vision together, and set off on a worthwhile quest. Along the road, we've learned to rely on each other. We've been able to smooth our sharp edges, speak our mind when something didn't seem right, discussed our concerns, share our misadventures, discoveries, happiness, and the thrill of missions accomplished. Hopefully our work has added new shades and meaning to our lives. As we now turn to our loved ones with more time at home, I also hope we share the feeling that after the road we've trodden together we've grown as professionals and individuals.

If this is the case, we may now close our binders and backpacks, get ready to enjoy our time with family more relaxed, with the warm reassurance of a job well done and a group of people behind us all the way...

THANK YOU all for the small hours that still and will remain...
