Teacher at Heart

Why do I stay in a job that I rarely ever see a finished product, is exhausting, frustrating at times, and pays so little? Because it is my heart! The joy in children's eyes when they learn something new can never be replaced. To make a child in poverty feel safe even if for just a few hours is priceless. To help children who, by no choice of their own, have come to a world where they cannot communicate to learn how to give voice to even the most basic need is exciting. To have a student come back to say hi, I miss you when they have moved on...wow! That is why I do what I do.
