Why I am a teacher

Today I had one of those moments when all it’s clear; the purpose of your life is right there before your eyes…well, not that much, but I can understand why I am a teacher. It was a student’s face expression when he finally figured out how to use a dictionary after trying for 45 minutes. His face when alphabetical order finally dawned on him was priceless. Nothing could keep me away from teaching today. That’s what keeps me through the never ending paperwork, the boredom of testing, the frustration of laws that are intended to hide the lack of concern for real learning. Today, I touched the sky with my hands; I helped a kid understand how the world works. Today I am a teacher, and I wouldn’t change it for all the money in the world.

Day 1:

Finished scanning, uploading and filing all images that I want to use on my online CV. I learned to make slideshows with Picasa and turn them into mini-movies that I have uploaded to YouTube on my channel. You can see some of them in the About Me page.
