I love students

I love students, and they love me back! One of our speakers at church this past Sunday made that statement, and it hit me hard--I realized why I love teaching so much! My love for teaching is not because I'm good at it, or because I know the subject matter; my love for teaching is based on the love that I have for the students! When you love the students, they will love you back.

...if only every teacher could do the same
The best teachers I had were in math & science...I would have probably taken a different career path had it not been for them.

It makes a huge difference...kids can tell which teachers genuinely care about them! I'm pretty sure the reason why not all teachers do is because it's hard! I'm glad that you choose to love! :)
