Five days a week, 9+ hours a day, we spend at our jobs. These jobs are things we have chosen as our passion, career, or way to make a living. Yet even though we chose these jobs, we inevitably go through good times and bad, times we love and times we don't.
This year is one of those times where I am often thinking,"There is nowhere I'd rather be than working with these people at this school." When you are genuinely happy to see the people you work with everyday, when you learn from and listen to each other, and when you have each other's backs no matter what, you know you're in a good place. You're in a place where you are better at your job because of the people around you. A place where others support and build you up. You're in a place that makes you appreciate the responsibilities that you possess as a teacher. A place that feels like a family.
I am in that place, and lucky for me this has been the case through ALL my years in the teaching profession. I've taught at two of the greatest schools with the neatest kids, coolest teachers, and best bosses. I consider this to be some of my greatest opportunities and most enjoyable periods of my life thus far. I'm so blessed that those unfamiliar faces from the early days have turned into beautiful friends who I truly respect, cherish, and love.
That's a pretty great place to be.
