Why being a teacher is worth it.

I got a card today from K. The front says, "Happy Appreciation Week Ms. Paul".
Inside:
Dear,
Ms. Paul I just want to tell you Thank you for being a great teacher you rock. T. said to tell you that she hopes that you have a great B-day. Me too I hope that you have an awesome birthday. you should sing more often in class. I like it when you sing.
You Rock,
K.

And I got another card in my box signed by several students,
"Dear Ms. Paul you are one of the Best Teacher I have Even thow that I always get you mad and I don't pay attention but you are a awsome Teacher I thank myself for having you"

It doesn't get better than that!!

p.s. the reference to my birthday. . . .I have told my students that there will be a large fiesta on the day before we leave for Memorial day weekend to celebrate my birthday. It will be HUGE. They're very excited. Maybe because it marks the end of "real learning" and the intro of fun week.

Is it too late to change my profession (if you can call my job a profession)?

ps I bet you are a killer (not literally) teacher. In fact, when we have kids we are moving to where ever you get a job. Start looking in southern cal or hawaii. That's were I want to live.
