Today, I turned 60! I have had phone calls, videos, and messages from current and former students. My heart is full of thankfulness. Students i taught 25 years ago called me and posted happy birthday videos to me. I have cried and laughed from memories they shared. As teachers we cannot get so caught up in the negativity that we forget we ARE making an impact. What is a moment you have experienced that reminds you that you matter and you are a world-changer?

Thank you. The videos, texts, and calls still keep coming! Yeah 60! I've never had so much attention!

I am “friends” with many of my former students on Facebook. When I receive notes from students telling me how much they appreciate something that I did for them, or how much they still remember a particular book or lesson that I taught, I then receive some affirmation that my hard work does not go unnoticed!

I have to admit I was a mess. Crying and laughing at the memories, and their words made me fell so validated.

Happy Birthday and thank you for the reminder. Today was rough in the land of education😫

Those tough days in the wonderful education sure make the good days more valuable. I'm so thankful for the students who remind us why we are educators.

Happy Birthday!
