Why is Teaching so Awesome.

Every since the 8th grade in Mr. Branham's LA class, I wanted to become a teacher. I was a little turd (if I may say so) through 7th grade and Mr. Branham turned me around and made me a better student. Ever since then, I had a desire to become a teacher. I always had an affinity towards mathematics and while I was in high school my math teacher Mrs. Miller brought my desire to become a teacher to a higher level. I knew I wanted to become a math teacher all because of Mrs. Miller. Thank you soooo much Mrs. Miller. I have had some awesome teachers in the past: Mr. Calcaterra, Mrs. Miller, Mr. Hargraves, and Mr. Griffith. Each one of my favorite teachers have taught me a little something and all of their great assets have made me what I am today, A TEACHER.
Teaching, to me, is one of the most rewarding careers ever. I can say that every morning that I get up, I can't wait to get to school and start my day. Yes, there are days in which things do not go very well, but I still can't wait to get up in the morning and start anew. I really love my job. I love the fact that the students trust me to teach them all about math and life. I love how they listen to me when I tell them stories, how they laugh at most of my jokes, and how they trust me enough to tell me what they are thinking.
I finally have a principal that cares more about the kids them themselves, and that does nothing but help me and our school. Thank you Mr. Waters.
One of my favorite movies is Mr. Holland's Opus. I get teary-eyed when all of his former students gather in the auditorium and give him a final farewell. I so desire to be a teacher that is loved by his students the way Mr. Holland was. I have parents that tell me their children really enjoy me and my class and I always tell them that I just hope they are learning something from me, because that is of utmost importance. I am glad my students enjoy me and my classes, but I hope they are learning something. Kids are so much fun and the each make my day a little brighter. Thanks you to all my kids. I love each and every one of you.
As always:
Live long and learn lots.
Mr. Love
