COBIN LEAVES
By Miriam
After 36 years in the Miami-Dade County school system, Ed Cobin said his goodbyes early on April 13 to prepare for hip surgery in a couple of months.
Cobin injured his hip while breaking up a bloody fight a couple of years ago. “[My hip] just got worse and worse until right now there’s a crack that’s developed,” he said. According to his doctors, the crack is likely to split with regular walking. “I’ll fall right on my face, and I wouldn’t want to embarrass myself in front of all my students,” he said.
In the meantime, Cobin will be “sleeping late, going to the beach, and getting healthy” to prepare for his surgery.
“I’m going to miss everybody here,” he said. “I’m really sorry to leave in one sense, but I’m happy to move on in another part of my life.”
