After one day back at school I remember why I chose to be a teacher; it's all about the kids. I was nervous and anxious this morning but as soon as I saw those faces, both new and old, I was reassured that I am right where I need to be. Although the day was hectic, trying, and somewhat stressful, I haven't ended a day feeling this fulfilled in a long time. The students just manage to make me smile, laugh, and appreciate the small things in a way that nobody else can.
A funny story from the day (well maybe just I find it funny, but whatever...) We had a few minutes to spare and I asked them some tribond questions (what do these three things have in common?) The three things were Chicken, Turkey, Ground Beef. The first answer that gets blurted out is "They are all BIRDS!" My response: "Ya I think I saw a flock of ground beef fly by this morning.." It made me laugh for sure! Love it.
Well with school starting I am definitely finding difficulty in adjusting to the work that's required from waking up until going to sleep. It'll take a while to get settled in. Hopefully I'll get ahead eventually, so that I can enjoy some of these evenings too! I am tired but feel great that I have accomplished something today.
