7th Heaven, Season 6

Annie:
I'm quitting school.

Eric:
What?

Annie:
I'm quitting school. No more college.

Eric:
I didn't know how much teaching meant to you.

Annie:
Well, it's not the teaching really. It's being around kids. You know how much I've always loved having children in my life, working with them, helping them. You know, in a couple of years, Sam and David, they'll be in school. Ruthie's doing great. Simon's in high school. Robbie and Lucy are in college, Mary's in New York and Matt's going off to medical school. So...our kids need me, but they don't need me. If I teach every year, I'll have a new batch of kids who I'll need to help the way I helped our kids. It's the perfect job for me. All I have to do is take what I've been doing at home for the last 20 years and put it in the classroom. I can do it. I think I'll be good at it.

Eric:
I'll help. I've always supported you in whatever you wanted to do. I love you. I want you to be happy.

Annie:
I want to be happy, too.
