My Great Nana was a teacher, my Nana worked in a school, my mom is a teacher, and I was a teacher. It's what I've always known, it's what I've always loved.
I value my kids' teachers immensely. I know what they go through. I know what they sacrifice. I will always try my best to make sure they know how much I appreciate them.
This is for my mom who, after 27 years of teaching in the same classroom, the same grade, at the same school, has decided to retire in June. She's still in touch with many of her former students, all of whom have expressed their appreciation for what she provided them but I know there is no possible way she'll ever know the impact she had on so many. My brother and I are not her only legacies. She has many, many more. That's an amazing thing.
There needs to be more people like your family. The world would be a better place.
ReplyDeleteProps to your mom and all the teachers out there. Though it was something I never thought I would do, I enjoyed MOST of it. I hate myself for stopping early and letting the "system" get to me.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Thank you.
