I teach because I have to. In all the jobs I've had to pay my way through life, only teaching has (as of today) not left an empty feeling. This is my calling; and sometimes I feel that I chose to teach as much as teaching chose me. *Note: The thoughts expressed here are my own and not intended to represent the school or district I work for.

The Heart
I was going to write about something else, but then I noticed a blogger, Ms. Miller, had subscribed to my lowly blog. The post I linked to reminded me of the need for "heart connections" in teaching. Our students, especially the neediest, want to know we are human, that we feel like they feel. Her post reminded me of one of the key moments in my teaching career, one that I should remember more often than I am prone to do.
