I still feel like I am 23 sometimes and just starting out in teaching, but I rarely get hit with moments anymore where a classroom full of students that are my responsibility is surprising anymore. I have truly BECOME a teacher. It is part of me. The kids are part of me and I would feel a little lost without them. I am very thankful that has become true. I do dream of the day when I can enjoy what you are enjoying, but it is good to have the reminder that what I have now has good things that I will miss if I leave teaching.

I mean, all the...I suppose you maybe right Candace? I mean, all these "good things" (like having a sound mind/body/soul, salvation, marriage, strong relationships, love, etc...) seem to come with some pretty hefty challenges. Did anyone really ever make that clear to us when we were younger? Or did our idealism tune it all out?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814988495078450394noreply@blogger.com
