Adjourning Phase

One of the hardest groups for me to say good-bye to was my sorority sisters. We had worked so hard on so many different projects together and been to so many functions together. It was extremely hard to step away and know that we were starting a new phase in our lives. Of all the the sorority sisters that I had, the closest ones were the hardest to leave behind, knowing that I was moving across the country and I would be able to see them everyday like I had the years prior.

Another group that was hard for me to leave was my kindergarten teachers. The teachers that I had taught with and we had successfully revamped a failing program into a thriving one. We had worked so hard together but eventually it was time for us to part ways and head to different grade levels to start over again.

I had a hard time leaving both of these groups for very different reasons. I think that my sorority sisters were the hardest to leave because we also built a friendship and on into a family.  My kindergarten teachers are still in the same building but we don't see each other everyday. We still talk about our jobs and how to do them betters. My sorority sister I don't get to talk to as often. I wish that my sisters and I would have stayed in touch more than we have because I truly value their friendships.

I think that leaving my colleagues that I have gained while working on my masters will be the same as my kindergarten teachers. We will still have that passion that we share and that we can ask each other questions and opinions. I think that adjourning for any group gives everyone closure and and end so that they can have a next step, or new beginning.
