Now that I've thrown myself into creating this Back to School PowerPoint presentation, I find myself really excited to start this school year. I'm so glad that teaching still sparks my heart and ignites a passion inside of me. I'm so glad that I haven't burned out. My first year of teaching, one of the teachers warned me about the 7 year itch. She said that, just like in marriage, teachers will know if this is a life long profession for them by the 7th year. If they can make it that long and still find themselves enjoying the students, then we're golden.
I'm not sure that it's that black and white for everyone, but I'm now entering my 8th year of teaching, and though I sometimes get frustrated, I love it! When I say I get frustrated, it's mostly with the bureaucracy and politics of education.
I'm almost done with my PP presentation. It's coming out quite good, but it's a lot longer than I anticipated. I'll post it here when I'm done.
Goodnight for now,
Jenn
