I'm so thankful I found teaching. Each day is a new day and a new lesson in life. The saying is there is always something new to learn...that's what we say to our students, but really it goes for teachers as well. My students teach me something knew each day. Lessons in forgiveness, tolerance and compassion. This is why I love to teach. These kids impact me on a daily basis and I hope I give them a (positive) impact as well. "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." ~Nelson Mandela
