I teach 8th grade US History. 4/5 of the week, I love my job. It is pretty much impossible to have a good day EVERY day when you are dealing with 14-year-olds. Do you remember what you were like at that age? (I have actually blocked all of that out.)
I also coach a pretty successful middle and high school track/cross country program. Well, I am more of a volunteer do-everything guy for the high school than a coach, but I will count that post anyway.
Every once in a while I give thought to hanging it up, but you really can't beat the feeling of making a difference. (Maybe I should write for Hallmark on the side.)
