I can't believe my year with City Year is coming to an end! It's so bittersweet ~ I was struggling trying to keep it together today at school, but it's finally hitting me. I enjoyed every moment with my students, and I'll definitely cherish my time with them forever 💓💕💟💞 #cityyear #makebetterhappen (at San Antonio, Texas)
