The Past Pupil’s meeting of the Vocational Training Center just happened to coincide with SMWC’s Homecoming. While I feel like I am in the right place for the year, I was still sad to miss what would have been my first Homecoming. As I watched the past pupils squealing in delight as they greeted old friends, I thought of my Woodsies who I’m sure were similarly greeting one another.
Despite these tinges of sentiment, the past pupils made me feel immediately welcome. It was wonderful to meet the graduates of our Center, all of who are success stories. Many of the alumni have advanced past the position of secretary, becoming accountants and a few even managers. The meeting served multiple purposes as a reunion, an opportunity for social net-working and professional development; further, it provided me with the chance to see firsthand just how great an impact I could have in the lives of my students this year.
