I have been teaching for 5 years. English in High SChool and it is the best thing I have done. I love my job and I cannot see myself doing anything else. Why I teach? It is a mystery that came upon me because I originally did not plan on it. I had to go back to school to get the credentials for it. We teachers, will not know why we chose this profession. For many that is. It is a phenomenon and a calling. I am just glad that I heard it, felt it and did something about it.
