There are those days when the logical mind says,
you must move on and do a better job of supporting yourself.
Those days when the logical mind says, why did you choose this
career, it is not reasonable.
If the heart can still the mind, then the answers are apparent.
Perhaps logic did not play a great part in choosing our jobs as teachers.
We are truly teaching life's most important lessons to the little ones;
The lesson of love, to love oneself unconditionally and to
share that love with others.
Perhaps we were guided and chosen to be in this place.
For teaching love in a crowded, confused and often angry world
is not something everyone can do.
How many people are hugged and told they are loved by the people
they work with each day?
How many people own original works of art created expressly for them?
How many jobs allow you to wipe away tears and make the world
a better place for others?
How many people are allowed to see a tired, weary world
through fresh new eyes,
where all things are possible,
To hear laughter and joy for no big reason, just for being.
When the logical mind says, what are you doing teaching young children?
Listen to your heart one more time
I forgot that I had this poem...I absolutely love it! I definitely needed to be reminded why I have chose to do what I do! There's so much drama going on at work. Everyone is there for the same reason... it's just to bad that everyone just can't be happy! But, then that's just me dreaming that we live in a perfect world without conflict or drama!
Christmas vacation could not have come at a better time!!

You might want to sing them a song: borrrrr ring students you wanna make me quit. Hahahahaha. Sorry to hear that is how you feel. If I remember I will tell you a very funny story that happened with me on Thursday.
Mr. Prince Hamilton... It's not the children that make me want to quit! I love working with young children! It's the adults acting like children that make me want to quit! I guess I need to sing the adults a song.. I don't want no drama, no, no drama!! Working with children and seeing life through there eyes is so refreshing. I work because it's a passion I have, and not because I have too. I'm sorry that you got the wrong impression from reading my post... it's not like that at all!! I posted what I did because I needed a little pick me-up, after finding out that one of the teachers that I work with did something criminal, and there actions could have put me, and my family in harm!!!
Oh, I see. sorry for the misundersanding. Language is so ambiguous that at times it tends to set ablaze the very fire it was trying to quench. I wish you a peaceful and joyful 2008!
