I had another great day of teaching. I’ve been having a lot of those and each day feels like a blessing. I know I haven’t been a perfect teacher. And that’s mostly because I’m very critical of myself. I know however that I will never take this for granted. I am lucky to call myself a teacher and it has been a blessing in my life.
I am happy to see all of my students every week. I never knew how many people cared about me. I never had many people to talk to when I was younger. Everyone had their own lives. I found myself spending a lot of time alone. That was okay, but I truly wished to be a part of a group. And now, I have many people to talk to. They are as happy to see me as happy as I am to see them. If I didn’t enjoy teaching, I don’t think I would have been able to do it for this long. You truly have to enjoy what you do or else you won’t be happy. Thank you God for blessing my life and I appreciate everything you have done for me.

Thank you so much!! Teaching has always been one of my passions. I’ve been teaching for awhile and I find myself thinking about how lucky I am to be a teacher. We often find ourselves becoming exactly who we were meant to be. I hope you had a good first day!

Wonderful to hear from a teacher who truly likes her job. How do you handle discipline problems? I have felt the same way about being a librarian. We are truly lucky to have (or have had) jobs we love. Since we have to work, we might as well enjoy it.

I tell them that what they’re doing is not okay and not to do it again. They like to test the boundaries though, but I make sure I always have the authority.
