Teacher

In my previous life I was a teacher. It was something that I loved. Interacting with students, inspiring them to learn. However, it was also something that seemed to drain every last bit of energy out of me. Constantly planning, spending way too much of my own money, worrying too much about how I was going to improve each child. But I loved it, how all your hard work molded these young people. I haven't been in a school setting in a long time but today I returned. I visited an old teacher friend and took part in a reading celebration. It felt good to talk to students and inspire them to read. It is something i'd like to get into again, but I think for the time being I will work on molding and inspiring my own two little smurfs.
