1) Students tend to give me new perspectives on life unintentionally.
2) Most of my students are bad at lying. They giggle & get big, revealing grins when they try to lie. It's reassuring to know they're still too innocent to tell a lie with a straight face.
3) A student will make me laugh or smile at least ONE time a day, even on bad days.
4) Students share the greatest stories and tidbits just because: "I got a new hamster!" "I just tripped over my own foot!" "My Dad got married on New Years!" I'm grateful that they like sharing things with me.
5) I get to work with young people every day. Whether we're actively learning or taking a moment to appreciate a classmate's sense of humor or personal story, I am humbled to be in their presence.
6) Teaching involves being a learner more than being a teacher, but both roles are worthwhile.
... to be continued.
