I always get excited when I hear of someone who has become of teacher because they loved the time they spent in my class. That's part of the reason I became a teacher - thank you Mr W you inspired me in Year 8.
I have taught hundreds of students now, but I can see their faces. I remember their struggles and their achievements.
There have been good years, great years, harder years and challenging years. To create a team in a classroom from diverse groups of people is always interesting but rewarding.
Over the years I have received wonderful cards and gifts but the one that was a key part of my ponderings these holidays, I have had for about six years. It was given to me by a very special Year Eight student. Every holiday time I open it up to remind myself why I love this job.
It is a a special little matchbox that contains The Three Things That Hanna Liked About Me...
This gift, handmade and lovely is the reason I teach. To find the Hanna's of the world and inspire them, to have them believe in themselves and to have them able to recognise the good in others.
I teach. What's your Superpower?
