What would you advise others about teaching?
It is not an easy job, but like most will tell you, It is very rewarding! The hours are great if you have a family, but make sure to never take home the troubles at work and vice versa. If you ever get sad or down, if something does work or a student curses you out, just remember the bigger picture; You are touching the future. Your influence, your good influence is needed and never forget that.

Teacher's World Day!

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. ~Henry Brooks Adams

Teachers, this is just something I always keep with me when I have a bad day or even a good day. There are days when I don't know why I became a teacher and put myself through the chaos, but when that student comes to see me and says You were my best teacher and I think about you all the time, it makes everything worth it!
