Dont Let People C_ _ P on Your Parade!
sometimes i am amazed what people say to me about teachers. i wonder are they ignorant, or just mean. today i arrived home and my neighbor approached me asking me how school is going. happily, i replied it is good i am in my last year ill be a teacher in April. she then proceeded to tell me how little teachers get paid, how teachers are underqualified, and how teachers should not be working past school hours because it is against the union. Funny? she then told me she "was" going to be a teacher, but she does not like the union. i then thought is this lady jealous? anyhow, i told her i love teaching and it is not about the money. i feel so fortuante to have the opportunity to educate myself and to do something i love and get paid for it. Plus as teachers we have the most important job in the world--to teach the youth. our youth is our future and teachers are the guides--you could classify us as "angels of matter." anyway, eventually i walked away from the conversation and shook my head. i even being the teacher that i am began to reflect on the conversation and i began to second guessed myself "is this all for nothing? should i pack it in right now?" then i thought bull_ _ _ _. i felt bad for this lady. she obviously is not working towards her own dreams or goals. actually, i believe she works at a jail. Glad its not me. so the moral of my story is DO NOT let anyone crap on your dreams (and don't kid yourself people will try) or goal in life. im proud to be a teacher and we all should be proud of ourselves for making it to where we are in our lives. cheers to the teachers of the world! now im going for a run.
