I’ve taught every single grade level from preschool to high school with a concentration in 2nd and 5th grade. Sometimes it made me sad that my best friend and beloved Grand Rapids high school teacher got hellos and hugs from her former students everywhere we went! She recently got a hug from a student we ran into on the streets of New Orleans! It took me a while to accept that those elementary kids who idolize you for 9 months will forget your name a few years later. But,in that place where we forget names, we retain the lessons we learned from each other about tolerance, acceptance and, finally, love. I knew by the age of 10 I was going to be a teacher and I never looked back. Thanks for being who and where you are. I LOVE TEACHERS!
A fulfilling life is knowing you are in the right place, doing the right things! Awesome! Now enjoy your summer!
