Going to college to become a teacher can only prepare you so much. Being in the classroom is when you really get to know what you're in for. Kids are all different. Some have nothing, some have everything. Some may go to bed hungry, others have never known a night without dinner. Some have help with homework, some have parents that work at all hours to get food on the table. Some may come home to an empty house, others a babysitter, and some, to younger siblings they help take care of. They are all so different, yet they are so young and innocent that in many ways they are the same too. They ALL have eager eyes that are ready to learn, open hearts to take care of me and each other. They show up every day with bright smiles, hugs to give, and stories to tell. They are my role models. I can only hope that they are learning as much from me, as I am from them.
