Best job ever........

I think I have the best job ever, being a high school teacher.  I remember back when I was in ninth grade in high school and I got to take Cosmetology.  Mrs. Bishop was my teacher and I loved the class.  She was my inspiration to become a teacher.  I love being able to teach my students everything that I love about the Cosmetology field.  Students really pick up on your enthusiasm and want to learn.  Students have told me that my class is the reason they have stayed in school, that makes my day.

Donna,

I enjoyed reading your inspirational post. Indeed teaching is a great profession, that can positively impact the lives of students who enter our classrooms on a daily basis. As educators we must use available resources to for relations and make connections with students in a way which allow them to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally.

I also had a great high school teacher, by the name of Mrs. Pauline Washington. She was such a great motivator and listener. She was the person who inspired me to attend her alma mater, Alabama A&M University. So you see, students as old as me, will always remember a special teacher.
