8. to 5 is such a relative concept
7. 0 gets you a D--why are they okay with that?
6. cups of coffee still isn't enough caffeine
5. minutes before class starts, i get the butterflies...you never grow out of the "oh crap" moment
4. almost an hour, i explain every way i can but its still not enough
3. days go by before i even catch my breath
2. many things to teach and not enough time!
1. person is responsible for so many futures

Ten Reasons why i do:

10. months for school, two for summer
9. times out of ten, they don't laugh at the jokes; that one time they do, it's a powerful feeling
8. years of school at least, and i'm still learning!
7.pm at the basketball game showing interest and building trust
6. periods a day and each one with a unique personality
5. days at a time to be a positive influence
4. years to witness time and maturity and growth's astounding power
3. paychecks a month, if i'm lucky
2. be a part of shaping a life is priceless
1. day at a time--tomorrow is a clean slate
