nostalgic

My dptmt juz had a farewell party for my math CT during FGD. It was quite an emotional affair esp when my CT talked about the yrs she had spent in the schools, the things she has learnt through the experiences. She was my CT when I was a trainee. Remembering the times when she would spend alot of her time to teach me things, give me advises and chat about stuff amongst her very busy time schedule. She is one of the teachers thatI really look to and how i wish she was my teacher last time. I have jus started my career for like 6 mths, and now she is leaving. I m feeling a lil sad abt this. but happy for her that she manage to pluck up the courage to step into a diff working anvironment. But wat she said was true. She did not want to look abt at the age of 60 and regretted not trying any other jobs besides teaching. I hav thought of this question myself too. But will I ever have the courage to do that?
