Principal Moment

All teachers have those days when we think the cashier’s position at any store is looking pretty good.  But then just when we’re about to lose our minds, a student does or says something that reminds us of why we went into this profession in the first place.

When a child gives up the money that he has earned all year to a family who lost their home to a fire-we remember.   When a student asks if the stars in the sky are pointy like the ones we draw-we remember.  When we spot a child praying over a dead baby bird by the bike racks-we remember.  When a child scratches an itch and says, “It inches,”-we remember.  When a child thinks an autobiography is a story about cars-we remember.  When a child says, “Mrs. Killian, you could probably teach school.  You seem smart enough.”-we remember. 

How grateful I am that I get to come to school every day with children who help me remember!
