Tonight, my son ever so
encouragingly said that there is “absolutely no way” I can come up with 365+
reasons why I teach.
He said that it is simply because I like teaching kids. It is interesting because I left my answer to why I teach at that for so long. I like kids. I like French. I have always wanted to be a teacher. After the past three weeks, I have seen things so differently. My previous answers now seem so hollow. It is not that they are not valid. They just need more explanation, definition, and expansion. It is not as "simple" as it seems.

He thinks that I will run out of
reasons as time goes by because “Life isn’t that complex.” We will just
see. The challenge is on.
I am ever more confident that I
will be able to find 365+ reasons why I teach, all of which will confirm my appreciation
for what I have the opportunity to do every day.
I like a challenge....
This is why I teach!
