Time for a little reflection and hopefully, inspiration. In a time where blaming and negativity hover over our heads, let's take a moment to reflect on the perks of your job.
I've listed a few that come to mind about teaching. What comes to your mind? If you are in another profession, add what perks you enjoy about your job!
Being positive is contagious, hopefully this will take you into your next workday.
* Seeing a child smile every day
* Having a child make you laugh
* Seeing that "light" go on
* Getting sunlight through the window
* Learning something new about yourself, another, the world, etc.
* Working with people who appreciate you (child or adult)
* Each day is different
* Knowing you just changed impacted a life
* Knowing you will be in the thoughts of many of these kids when they are adults
Students yelling and screaming with excitement when they have an answer or get something right (even when they shouldn't be!)
