T = Teacher, E = Educate:
A = Adventure
Teaching is an adventure. Adventures come in many styles - some are challenging and some are merely exhilarating. Regardless of the type, adventures require an investment of time and energy. Each day in the classroom brings a new adventure.
Your day could be a mountain climb. One thing about climbing is that you can always see how much further you have to go, and a quick glance behind you shows you how far you have come. It’s a test of mental and physical strength, and it can last for a few hours or a few days.
Your day could be a sail or kayak across a smooth lake. While this can be physically draining, it can be emotionally rewarding. These days remind you why you chose teaching as a career.
Your day could be a rigorous hike or bike trek. These days seem like they last forever. Some are marked with pit stops along the way of small challenges.
You day could be a fast downhill ski run. Your day goes by in a blur and your feel as if you spent the whole day trying to avoid the trees.
Whatever the adventure your day in the classroom brings you, the difference you make in the children you teach is the ultimate reward.
Thank you for embarking on new adventures in the classroom every day.
