I have the BEST job!







There are days I come home and the flat spot on my head (because I'm been banging it against the wall all day) is throbbing, but I would never, ever give up my career in teaching. I love being a teacher. My 8th graders are tough. They are loud, squirrely, and will do anything to get me off task... well, most of them I taught for 7th grade last year, so we despite their annoying behavior they are amazing people that I've bonded with for almost 2 years! So there is this one girl... oui vey. LOUD and squirrely squared. Well, this week was CSAP week (our state tests here) and needless to say our students have struggled with showing how much they know. At one point we were the lowest performing middle school in the entire state! OK, so this one student (the loud one) came running up to me in the hall this week and literally jumped on me and was shouting (in her normal tone) "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MISS THAT SCIENCE TEST WAS SO EASY! THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME SCIENCE!!!" Ok, so I don't need to tell you how amazing that was. I love my job...
