I have written alot about how stressful my job is, which it is. However, once in awhile there is a ray of light that fades out the dark spots.
Once in awhile I feel like I have won the lottery. Or like I have ran a 2000K ran and won. I feel like a proud mother watching her child walk for the first time.
I love these moments. The moments that make all the stress and tears worthwhile.
I experienced a couple of these moments very recently. This is why I teach children with disabilities.
The first ray of brilliant light was brought on by a student who was so proud of his recent accomplishments that he ran up to me and hugged me and kissed my cheek.
The second ray of blinding light came from a teary-eyed mom who was proud of her child's accomplishments. She was worried he might not accomplish much because of the severity of his impairment, but she was gladly wrong.
This job is stressful, however it has unbelievable rewards. Even though, at times, I might claim to hate it, I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

That is awesome i can't wait until i get to experince those things with my future students.
How far do you have to go before you are done with your degree? It is very rewarding, and somewhat stressful job. What is your major?
sweet sweetie!
