Today was the start of my FOURTEENTH (if you can believe it) semester at work. I shouldn't even call it work, because it doesn't feel like work. It is amazing, fun, and brings a ton of joy into my life:)
I have been teaching since I was twenty and always knew it was my "calling." No matter what the grade, fourth, twelfth, sixth, or college, teaching genuinely makes me happy.
I have amazing, talented students, who get my jokes, and who soak in what I teach them. They also teach me a LOT every day.
I enjoyed the semester break, but couldn't wait to get up today and teach my new classes. I was so excited, that I hardly slept last night! Butterflies!
I have many students that I have taught before in other classes, and they are coming back for more (which is the greatest compliment a teacher could ever ask for). I also have new students, who came in ready to learn, and who are excited about becoming teachers.
So here we go...another semester of fun, of loving what I do. I am more grateful than words could ever express.
