If I was graduating high school and deciding on a profession again, I would choose education.
When the kids coming running down the sidewalk for a hug, when I have the opportunity to read my favourite books aloud, when I can share my passion on writing with the students, when I can adhere a bandaid or provide support to a student in trauma, I know education is the place for me.
It is a privilege to be an educator. School is about much more than knowledge. School is life changing. In the words of Confucius: “Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.”
There’s no better choice for me.
I couldn’t agree with you more! Well said Karen.
I feel the same way as too! I love my Job and all the joys and wonders that come with it!
We are so fortunate to have you in our profession!
Find what you love to do and what the world needs doing and you find a meaningful life: sounds like you have found both. Lucky you and lucky kids.!
