This is what keeps me going back

It's Sunday night and I get to go to school and teach tomorrow. There are Sunday nights that I can't type those words and mean it. But, last Friday I had one of those moments that as a teacher keeps me going back for more. It was during my first period math class - math isn't easy for a lot of the students in that class. Right before the end of class I was complimenting them on the great job they had done. It was a new concept for them and they had really worked hard. I wanted them to know how proud I was of their effort. One of my students raised his hand and said, "You did a dang good job of teaching us, Mrs. Weekly." That one sentence makes it worth getting up in the morning. Thanks, Tyler!
