Top 10 Reasons I Teach!

Spring Break is just around the corner!  I'm looking forward to the time...I'm going on my first CRUISE with my hubby and two 16 year-old daughters!  Very excited.  Even though the break is nice (really nice), I will miss my 'other' kids.  The 28 or so that I see each week.  This got me thinking...why do I teach?  Here is my TOP 10 list...

10.  I learn something new every day!

 9.   The smile on a child's face is PRICELESS (and sometimes, I'm responsible for putting it there)!

 8.   The Christmas gifts are great :-)

  7.  Everyday is a new experience.

  6.  I get to help unlock the door to a whole world for these kids.

  5.  Some days I am the first one to see that very moment when a child 'gets it'!

  4.  I get to spend holidays with my OWN children.

   3.  I get to experience the saying 'out of the mouths of babes' 5 days a week (Trust me, kids say some pretty amazing, brilliant and insightful things)!

   2.  I am truly loved, unconditionally, by so many!

   1.  SUMMERS OFF!  (Ok, I was just seeing if you were really reading, because if you are, or know a teacher, then you know THIS IS NOT TRUE)!!!!

   1.  Really...I cannot imagine doing anything else!  I LOVE TEACHING!
