Why we do our jobs

This morning I was talking to a co-worker of mine who is also working on her Masters Degree. She had to read an article for class to reflect on for an assignment and we were chatting about it this morning. This article mentioned various things like when teachers tell stories to one another about students its to get ideas and help one another. We were talking about how much that is true.

The main quote from this article is the one that made me want to blog about this was that one little boy told his teacher "Its nice how teachers care about jackets and lunch money and things like that and Mommies don't" We were both standing there about to cry it hit us so hard. We don't realize how much we impact the lives of the children until we hear something like that. It really touches your heart. I know sometimes we are tired and the job can be stressful but when you hear words like that it makes us realize how important our words are to the kids.
