Because I said SO

The other day a colleague needed uplifting. She was feeling overwhelmed with the duties us teachers must face. They do seem to increase every year. As we discussed her thoughts, my own revelation occurred. Even though there are moments that I feel that my job is not as it should be, I am luckiest person alive! I am a teacher, I make a difference, I am doing what I can to change the world, and most importantly I have one very large school family whom I love!

That same evening I stopped by the local grocery store to pick up some milk. As I entered the store, I heard someone yell my name and before I could figure out who it was, I was being bear hugged as if I was some kind of hero. At that moment I came to realize how valuable my job was, is, and will continue to be. By looking at my occupation which such fervor, I feel blessed that I was chosen to be a part of career that will impact the future far beyond than I once thought.

For that, my friend, I say “CHEERS”
