important.

sometimes teaching is monotnous. you do the same thing, day after day, get frustrated with the same things...its like a vicious cycle. a lot of the time, i feel inadequate. my teaching skills are not up to par with most other teachers. i'm JUST a preschool teacher. it seems as if, to the rest of the working world, what i do, doesn't matter.

but it does.

there are days when i believe those lies. the ones that tell me "you're not doing enough" or "preschool isn't very serious." but then there are days that i don't believe those lies. there are days that are great. where my kids understand what i'm teaching them. where they leave class knowing how to say hello and goodbye in Chinese, when they leave giving each other hugs because they love each other, when parents tell me that their child came home talking about school. those are the days that the lies fade real quick.

i believe that what i do is very important. i am helping to mold a very impressionable mind to be in love with Christ, to love others, and to succeed in life. yes, i don't get to see the fruit of that labor initially, but i have to believe that what i do matters. i have to believe that God put me into this place in life for a reason.

i love my kids. i love my job. i'm so thankful for where God has me right now. i. am. blessed.
