A Part of the Journey

You know when you have one of THOSE days.  The great ones.  The kids make you laugh extra hard. A turning point occurs with an issue that you’ve been working so hard to have an impact on.  You get one of those notes from a parent that makes your day (year, actually) and you tuck it into your desk drawer.  Your book order comes in and you got extra books for free.  You finally get to see a project your kids have been working at fall into place.  You walk out of school and the sun is shining and you think, “Wow, I was meant to be here, doing this.”  You know that no matter what, working in a school, around learning, with kids, is your niche in the world.    Then you realize.  That’s why you work so incredibly hard.  Because every kid needs to find their niche and you are a part of that journey.
