I am on my 15th spring break since I graduated from college. There are many days when I am so thankful that I chose to be a teacher. For instance when my kids read for the 1st time, when they need a hug and they just rest in my arms, and when they are so "valentimey" that they just can't stand it. But, today was also a day when I am so thankful for being a teacher. Only a few more weeks to mold their minds, to pray for them during our moment of silence and to cheer them on when they need it. I will cherish these next few weeks but I am going to really enjoy this week.
I went to lunch with an old friend/co-worker of mine today and we had a great talk. She is going through a very rough time in her life and I was able to help her because of what I went through. God continues to allow me to encourage people even though I went through a terrible time. He is so Amazing that way. Man, I serve a MIGHTY GOD.
How can it be 15 years? What a privilege those kids have to have you as their teacher.
