More Reasons Why I Teach
I’m a teacher. By choice. I love teaching, but it’s not always fun. Many times it can be tiring. Many times it is a thankless journey. But there are few times that it’s not.
This was taken in 2015 for a BCIT promotional video. I remember this distinctly, because I was not feeling well at that time, just in time for the shoot.
What you see below is my fuel. This is why I teach. Sure, I won’t please everyone. Not everyone will appreciate or will be happy with the way I teach, but
… even if there’s one person in the class who thinks the time they spent in my class was worth it …
that’s all the reason I need.

These are some of the cards and notes I recently received from my students. And a few more here.
This warms my heart.
If and when I get tired, all I need to do is remember these times, these messages, these cards.
That’s enough to energize me and put me back on track.
