Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?
Well, despite all the times I look like that. And despite all the headaches and annoying and apathetic kids, I am doing what I believe in. I know a few people who "settle" for teaching, but most of us teach because we want to. We definitely don't teach because of the pay or the awesome hours. "What?", you say. "But you get summers and holidays off." Very true, dear reader, but for 9 months out of the year most of us take our work home with us and can't get it all done between the hours of 7:30 and 3:15. And, many of us work in the summer, whether it is teaching summer school or preparing for the coming year. Watching all the lightbulbs go off makes it worth it. My good classes also make it worth it.
I also get lots of time to spend with my family. That makes my job worth it too.
Finally, Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!
