Gratitude: My Job

 

There is no mystery around the fact that teachers are grossly underpaid, nevertheless, I am exceedingly thankful for my job that I have. Opportunities to do what I want within my purview as an educator arise every year, and it keeps me thriving in experiences for growth and success. Another aspect of my job that inspires so much gratitude is that I have it. Not everyone has a job who needs one, let alone one they are successful at doing. It means a great deal to me that I can do work that is rewarding on many levels, and I am very thankful for the chance I get each day to see success in the eyes of my students as they learn and grow. It is a dividend that never ends.
