Have Passion. Will Teach.

high school english teacher, master of english, bookworm

i love: reading books, writing, teaching, listening to and talking with smart people, pop culture, young adult fiction, joan didion, aaron sorkin, dave matthews band, red wine, coffee, baseball and watching sports.
two really long sentences about the life of a teacher.

I am LOVING being a “real” teacher, even though I don’t get a real paycheck, and I’m helping out as back-up secretary of the PTSA and I’m adviser of THE HIP HOP CLUB, which kind of makes me hope that at some point this year, my life will become like Step Up II: The Streets, and I’m enjoying the new experience of teaching ELD, but today, TODAY, has beaten me.  I’m discouraged and stressed and overwhelmed and people keep telling me that I’m doing my best, but I know that doing the best that I can and doing the best for my kids are two different things.
