Always there for those that need it
Becoming a better mentor with each day
Calling on students at random to challenge them
Deciding endless things, every minute of every day
Eating between classes, because lunch breaks are used to set up the next class
Finding endless support for those who need it
Going the extra mile(s)
Holding space for those with tears
Illnesses every winter
Joking with the students about life's silly conundrums
Keeping everything organized so the students feel organized
Learning along with them
Making endless crafts
No, we don't say that to each other!
Open your eyes, in the back.
Pretending we're not going through a hard day
Questioning admin's decisions
Reading endlessly
Studying over the summer
Tuning violins in orchestra class
Understanding what it takes to help a student "get it"
Volunteering and being volunteered
Waiting for the end-of-day bell
X-haling when the day is over
Yawning as we fall into bed
Zzzzzzz........
