What Teachers Make

I promise, not all of my blog posts are going to be this sentimental, but this poem, this poem makes me tear up, all while grinning like a fool (I now only watch it in private due to the frequency of strange looks from people). No matter how many times I hear it, watch it, read it, or listen to someone talk about it- it remains uplifting.

I tend to listen to it on those bad days that make you question every decision you have ever made, and wonder if all this crap is worth it. Those days when someone tells you "when I was your age... I had a house, a baby, a husband" and look at you like, "what have YOU done with your life." On those days I really begin to question things. But then I look up this video, and it reminds me that if I can make a difference in one, just one, child's life, then all of this has been worth it.
