The Best Job in the World

YES!  Teaching IS the Best and most rewarding job in the world!

        I have been teaching for more than 25 years. Second grade, Art classes, preschool, and computer class to name a few. For the last 22 years, I have been teaching 5th grade and it is the Best! There is the student that always gives you their personal best and then a wonderful unexpected gift.  A gift like this makes you realize  that  our kids are the real gift.

 

        This young lady  stitched my name onto a cloth and added a darling flower.  It brings tears to my eyes every time I gaze at it on top of my shelf at home.

      One day I was pleasantly surprised by a former student coming to visit. He has grown from a little 5th grade boy to be a wonderful, handsome young man.

I could see his boyish smile and the twinkle in his eye as he came into my room.

He gave me a big hug and lifted me off the floor. He made my day.

           While reading the Michigan Catholic newspaper, I read that a former student was attending Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit, MI.  I had the pleasure teaching this young man.

     A few months ago a former student asked me to be her sponsor for Confirmation.  I was very honored and pleased that she wanted me to stand with her to confirm her new role in the Catholic Church.  Two weeks ago I proudly stood in back of her with my hand on this young woman's shoulder.  None of this would have been possible if I had not chosen to become a teacher.

When I started teaching so many years ago, I didn't realize what it was going to be like.  I am so very glad I made the decision to become a teacher, the Best Job in the World!

     I hope that you had a great day, too!
