My whole life I wanted to become a veterinarian but I figured teaching was pretty close (and it required WAY less science classes). Really the only differences are that my "patients" can talk and I get paid far less. The bonus of teaching though is that I encounter situations that I could NEVER fabricate even in my wildest dreams. J.K Rowling would kill for story starters from my room. Often times I find myself saying "Really? That just happened!?" or thinking "Why did I spend five years obtaining a degree to work with small, wild, children?".
However the FACT is that every day I wake up I choose to go teach boogery, needy, unpredictable yet absolutely adorable kiddos instead of selling oranges off the freeway off ramps. And with that choice comes quotes and stories a plenty.
I love all your crazy kid stories. So I'm excited to read them...and stalk you.
