Today I'm thankful for...
Teachers!
Since this is Teacher Appreciation Day, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show my appreciation for them. As someone with an education degree who has done this much classroom work, I understand that teaching consists of much, much more than showing up, doing a little math and reading, leaving at 2:15, and laying around all summer (okay, maybe there's a little laying around in the summer from what I see on Facebook ha ha). Teachers care for all of their students...even that one child that makes them want to rip their hair out, leave the profession, and never set foot in a school ever again. But, for every frustrating moment, there are dozens of other rewarding ones. Plus, teachers are the reason that other professions exist. Whether you are a teacher or a professor, you have knowledge that students must learn before they can move on to the next stepping stone in life. Even though I'm very, very ready to be finished with graduate school, I appreciate my teachers/professors, and all of those who have shaped me to this point. And to all of my teacher friends, hang tight; summer is just around the corner!
