You bless lives
To all the beautiful teachers, A semester before I graduated college I had a meeting with my absolute favorite professor. She taught most of my early childhood education classes. She asked me what my plans were for my career. I told her I wanted to teach Kindergarten and then maybe someday become a college professor so I could come back and help people become good teachers. She joked that I wanted to follow her career path. I said, absolutely. During our conversation we talked about what being a teacher, and an early childhood education teacher specifically was like. She joked that we don't always get the recognition we deserve. That someday when kids are graduating from High School they would be thanking all their coaches and high school teachers, but always seemed to forget those teachers from their younger years. My favorite line from the conversation had to be, "I taught you how to read, damn it" I have seriously been considering getting a job outside of education.
