There are other times where I can't do anything except laugh. Take this for instance:
Last Friday in Senior English:
Boy1: Yeah. We're bros.
Girl: Who? You and him or you and Entzel?
B1: Dude. Me and Entzel. We're bros.
G: Entzel, are you two bros?
Me: We are?
B1: Yeah. Totally.
Me: Well, if I'm your bro, are you my sis?
B1: Yeah. Ms. R says that to me too.
Boy2: Ms. R told me that I smell like tuna.
It's times like this that I have to laugh and there's not much else for me to do! Those are the days that I enjoy seeing the influences we as teachers have on our students.
*Here is where most of my hours are spent every week.*
And in all reality, right now I wouldn't trade it for the world. Sure, some days I want to pull my hair out and I want to scream and go home at noon. BUT, then my job wouldn't be as rewarding. I'm not here because I'm such a good teacher. I'm here because my passion is to be here for those kids.
*Happy Tuesday!
