Hug*

I teach children and adults privately and last Friday a young student of 10 years old, a girl, when the class ended gave me an unexpected hug. She held me and kept holding me for a couple of seconds. She really hugged me . . . And that made my heart explode in joy. That is why I love teaching so much  |

Yes! I think Teaching has the most rewarding moments. Other jobs or occupations also have rewarding moments, but as Ed says, in teaching the rewards that we get are straight from the heart! Nothing to do with $$$$$ (although I must say, $$$ doesn �t hurt, rather helps A LOT, LOL!) a child �s smile, a big hug like the one you got, Miss Eleonora, has no price! It �s so rewarding and satisfying, when a child hugs you and says: "can you be my teacher next year too?" Wow.... aren �t we privilaged???? Only teachers can have these great moments!!! Of course we have other kind of moments, moments of frustration, moments of anger, moments of disappointment, but in the end it all adds up to doing what we love, enjoying our work, and ENJOYING OUR STUDENTS. A big  to all of you!!!!! |
