I am a "real" teacher. I never grew up wanting to be a teacher, the position just kind of fell in my lap. I dread waking up at 5:00 in the morning. I hate that I go to bed at 9:00 at night. But there is something about, when children walk through the front door, that just hits you and reminds you why you are there.
I try not to focus on school 24/7. By doing things that I enjoy, like making teaching products, I can focus my mind on something besides the overwhelming feeling that can sometimes come with a classroom.
