Leaving Oace

Welcome to the World of Retirement!
There are no more Monday blues.
You wake up late wondering... what to do?
No student data, 
No coworkers to avoid, 
No care about ADA 
or if you should even shave today!

You could read a book for pleasure now and 
not because you have to teach.
Make room for yourself and get some needed sleep. 

Don't forget to create your bucket list!
It's time for you to travel and have fun
knowing that you'll never need to answer to DOE or anyone!

Happy Retirement!
You survived! Live long, strong, and hold on to what's left of your minds!

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
