What's your favorite thing about teaching?

"There are many reasons I love being a teacher. Seeing my students make progress and the light that comes to their eyes when they accomplish a goal is one of my favorite things. One of our class mottos is “It may be hard but not impossible.” I love when they really get the meaning of our motto. They know even if it’s hard, they will not give up. Seeing the kids helping one another, both academically and socially, is also gratifying for me. I love that my kids and I treat each other like one big family."
