Awesome poem! So appropriate and fun. Maybe I can use it as a mentor poem next school year…. I’ve been out a month and I truly can’t stop thinking about school! (But that’s a good thing in my book!) Happy summer… you’ve earned it.

Your poem truly captures what we are all experiencing. We are at heartbreak hill of the Boston marathon and looking towards the finish line. Hurray! Plenty to cheer about.
