Maintaining Your Passion for Students and Teaching
In her Ted Talk, Every Child Deserves A Champion, Rita Pierson spoke about "an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists they become the best they can possibly be." That is YOU and me - the very people with whom they spend at least six hours a day. As we forge to the end of Semester 1, we all feel the pressure and fatigue sets in, our patience become shorter and we want to pull out our hair. It is during this time that we must be vigilant and constantly remind ourselves why we became teachers. We must muster every ounce of patience, love, kindness, gratitude and compassion so that our students continue to experience the very best of us. Most of all, let's be grateful for each student we teach as we have been given the privilege of shaping their lives.
