I still love my job even though:
- I had to confiscate a young boy's bike for a day because he constantly rides it in the busy breezeways
- boys and girls both enjoy running in the hallways, even after I tell them not to
- some kids love to whistle in the classroom and it's hard to catch them doing it
- kids often forget to bring a pencil to class
This is why I will always love my job:
- I've seen two years worth of academic growth in one year as students go through our remedial program
- some children are amazed to realize they finished at least five books through the year, when previously they'd finished NONE
- I no longer have to remind my 8th graders to properly punctuate their sentences
- junior high students can be extremely funny, they crack me up daily
If God hadn't prodded me into accepting this job, I'd never know these highs and lows. I'm thankful for summer vacation though!
