I think this blog post kinda speaks for itself. It is truly amazing to see the heart of this
educator. It speaks volumes about the
relationship that he to the kids, that I have doubt he was able to leverage for his Science
classes. He has a passion for the
material, and I could bet those kids caught it.
That isn’t an easy age group either.
But what really struck me about this letter was the obvious
effect those kids had on him. Yes, we
got into education to change the world and help kids become more successful in
life, but wow these kids change us too.
And they change us in amazing ways.
What have you learned a positive from the students you
teach? What lessons do you carry now as
an adult because you were influenced by those you see every day?
We are all programmed to be relational people, I
believe. We don’t want to be here to take
up space…we want to matter. Students are
the same. We want to give them an
identity and make them matter. They do.
Thank you for loving kids and your career. It is not something to take lightly. Don’t be afraid to let kids know how much
they mean to you…what you learn from them…or how much you care!
Happy Monday!
