First, I completely forgot about the blog. To answer the question, those moments hit me when my upper level students come into my class (when they are supposed to be in class themselves), to visit. While I tire of grading papers and leaving the school at 530pm almost everyday except Friday, I feel the most affirmed when my students interact with me. Its a rewarding and somewhat pestering feeling to know the kids want to be around you a lot. Nevertheless, I relish those times, and I think the students like the thought of "bothering a teacher".
