The Eyes On the Other Side

My day starts early in the mooring. Getting my two children up, and getting myself up and ready. My students don’t think life is hard for a teacher. All they see is a little short young woman with two kids. They don’t see my hardships, or my struggles in life. I don’t give all of my secrets away, but I let them see the good side of my life. I want to be a light to the students, and let them know that life can be a great adventure, but they are the tour guide.

I come into the classroom knowing what I am going to teach, but not knowing what will happen. What if there is a fight, or some one gets stabbed by a pencil. Being a teacher is scary. I look at all of my students, some are great students and try hard, but others sleep all class period. I only wish that they would wake up, and realize that this class isn’t so bad. I look into all of the students eyes, I see loneliness, depression, and sadness. If only they knew how much I actually cared. I want all of my students to be successful, and happy.
