This sweet post (Why I Hated Meredith's First Grade Teacher) made me cry.
Take a minute and read it. It really is a sweet tribute to mom's letting their babies go off to school as well as the teachers who love those kiddos dearly. I understand both sides of that fence.
I take my job as Mama very seriously and have for the last 8+ years. My children's teachers have become part of our family, just as Meredith's did. I have been incredibly grateful for the amazing teachers my children have had and appreciate their sacrifice and commitment to love my children.
I also take my job as teacher very seriously. I am entrusted with great treasures each day. I pray each morning that I have His eyes to see them, His heart to love them, and wise words from Him to guide them. My job is much more than teaching Reading/Language Arts and Social Studies. I can build up or tear down. I can encourage or do lifelong damage. My words have power...and so do the looks I give.
If you would be so kind to stop now and pray that I will do both of these jobs well, I would appreciate it! On my own, I know I'll mess them both up, but in His strength I can share Light and Love!
