LUCKY MAN
Most of the time this is true. I go back to school tomorrow. I have felt so fortunate that I can teach school after my prior two careers. My first was a little stressful, as was my second. My third, well it is a joy.
Then I think about my family and I am feeling very fortunate. I have a wife who loves me, I sometimes wonder why, and my kids love me, again I've tried to be a role model. When I walk into my classroom everyday I know I'm a lucky man.
I've had some body blows, but I still consider myself a lucky man.

that is the measure of a person. What they do with thier lives and how they impact those around them.
And I am very jealous you are getting back into the classroom. I am still looking for a gig ths fall.
L&OT:
The teaching profession has to be the most rewarding of all. It may not pay the best, but the total compensation far outweighs the almighty dollar. Years from now, a middle age person will stop you and thank you for being a large part of who they are. That person could easily be the President of the United States. As a former Boy Scout Leader for 16 years, I can guarantee you will have many moments like that, maybe not a future President, but most certainly people who became who they are because of you. Keep up the good work!

obob, AA,
Thanks for the visits. I realize how incredibly lucky I am to be a teacher, and I look forward to being there everyday. It's rewarding to be involved in kid's lives everyday. I am a lucky man.
