5 Reasons Why I Love Being A Teacher

1.) It's quite possibly the funnest job in the world!
To wake up every morning at 5:30am is a heavy burden; but to wake up to the thought that I'm going to be teaching 20 awesome kids changes everything; makes everything worth it..Kids are never boring, never tedious, never a chore..They're unpredictable, chaotic, and absolutely adorable; which makes this job so so fun :D

2.) Forces me to squeeze every creative juice out of mee...
I think you can tell from the way my blog is set up, I'm not the most artistic of bloggers..And I feel like I have little to no talent honestly, but when I'm with my kids, I learn, and I'm inspired :) Their simplicity and artistic perspective blows my mind; reminds me that there's hope for all,haha! The best of teachers are creative geniuses  so I'd like to think I'm working my way there ;P

3.) I don't always do the teaching
Best BEST part is when I learn from my kids :) And it isn't always about the curriculum, just them being themselves..The way they interact with one another: how they love, how they fight, how they forgive, how they care for each other..There's just so much innocence& sincerity faded from us that is still in them; such a joy watching them and learning :)



4.) You guessed it!
Hahah, honestly we'd be dead if we did not have our breaks! School holidays are ahhmaazhingg #EnoughSaid


5.) When they finally get it....
There are some lessons that you teach that are easy, and it's good and you're happy...But on days when you teach something, and no one gets it; no matter how hard you try to explain it, you know there's a wall between you and them..Days like that often end with you (me) feeling like the stupidest, most failed teacher :( But then that day comes...When you dreading-ly revisit the lesson, and you try to get through to them, but half give-up cause you know it's not gonna work...When suddenly...They get it...Like you actually see light bulbs turn on...And you test and retest, and your joy is coming to life; they really do get it...Omg, wow..Seriously..??...#BestFeelingEverrrr...! And not everyday is like that, but just teaching and knowing that you're actually getting the job done is so so rewarding and fulfilling...In the end, us teachers always reflect to see if we've accomplished what we set out to do (in a day, a week, a year even), and more often than not, we never get it all done, not to the standards we set ourselves..And that's frustrating...
But to know we've ticked some boxes, and just gotten somewhere in life with them,haha...no words can describe...Nothing else in this world can replace that feeling for me; knowing that I've done something for them.. #LegacyLeft ;)
