Teaching thought

I've been thinking a lot lately. Being around my new mentor teacher at the middle school...
(Oh, by the way... I'm at a middle school now... I haven't updated in a while) 
But for everyone that wants to be a teacher or if you are a person that wants to help people in general, please think about why you are doing it. 
Now more than ever, I don't think that it's enough to love your subject area with a passion. You have to want to help others understand your passion. 


So I'm vowing:
~ I will try my best to help all the students I can. 
~ I will always have high expectations for all my students.
~ giving up on a student really isn't an option. 
~ I will try my best to be patient with the students who need extra extra extra time. 
~ I will foster a community of students.
~ I will try my best to keep my students in my classroom (even when they are being a pain. because those are the students who need it the most.)
~I will choose my battles wisely.
~I WILL BE AN ART TEACHER 
especially when people say I won't have a job.
