Good students make me happy to come to work. They make me appreciate the work I’m doing and make me want to “see them again”.
Today was a better day for all my classes. I think doing a variety of different activities gets them more engaged. Surprisingly enough, foldables seem to work, as elementary as it seems.
I had a free lunch with my favorite student and her mom today. It was for a “Student of the Month” lunch, which every teacher has to eventually do. I appreciated the free food. The salad was healthy until I accidentally drenched too much sauce all over it.
It’s a shame that not every student can be perfect, because I’ve had to deal with many behavioral issues this year. I talked to the mom and and recommended the student to eventually apply to an Ivy League School as soon as she’s out of high school.
In the evening, I went to the Rio Buffet with some co-workers and it was delicious as usual. Talking to my co-workers makes me appreciate my career more, and makes me realize how much effort and dedication we put into the job, despite the apathy presented by the students in the end. I can’t wait to see them again, tomorrow at work.
Good students and good co-workers make the job bearable, and make me happy to come everyday. Bad students drag it down. I’m just hoping I can tip the scale back towards the good students and away from the negative ones.
The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I stuttered when you asked me what I’m thinking about
Felt like I couldn’t breathe
You asked what’s wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said “Oh she’s just being Miley”
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart can rest till then (a-whoa a-whoa)
Now I can’t wait to see you again
