The most frequent question that I have been asked is, "How was Egypt?" and I start to lose people if I say anything more than two or three sentences, so I've shortened my answer to, "Good." I love it and I miss it and would do anything to go back, but I can't summarize my year in a word or two.
This past weekend Andrews had a retreat for returning SMs. We divided into groups of three, and then we each got ten minutes to talk about highs, ten minutes to talk about lows, and five minutes to talk about lessons learned. It sounded like a ridiculous amount of time, but it flew. I enjoyed talking about my students and the other SMs and the good times. But when I got to the lows, I cried for the entire ten minutes I talked.
