Today I went through something as a teacher that is an unfortunate reality. It was difficult to deal with and still is. Because of these events, I have only more clearly realized why I am a teacher. Kids need you. They need someone that will just give them a hug, pat on the back, or words of encouragement. They need love.
This year I have I learned to appreciate the little gifts that are hidden in each child. Even the ones I've written about being obnoxious and difficult have something unique and positive. This is my job to find if I haven't yet. Unfortunately, I see it in many kids and other people don't. Regardless of what obstacles you may have, think about all the positives that overcompensate for them.
I truly love every single kid in my class, more than I ever thought possible...even the ones that cry every day!
