Open Mic

As a teacher I don't think that one really knows the impact they have on the students until later down the road. It may be an assignment that was covered at the beginning of the school year and at this time in the school year they bring up what you have taught them. This has happened to me a different occasions and it really made me feel good and makes me think "hey I must be a pretty good teacher" and that makes me feel great. I believe that teaching is something that really pays off in the long run especially when the students that you may have taught and they have graduate come back to see you and they are doing pretty good for themselves that is a reward that money can't buy. Overall the rewards of teaching sometimes get blurred by the problems that we have to deal with from time to time but the end result is priceless.
