Teacher

CSo for the first time in five years, I did not head to school to start a new year. I didn't wake up, pick a cute outfit out, and see smiling (or crying) faces of students as they came back to school. Well, I did pick out a cute outfit. 

Did I miss it? Definitely. I love the noise. That I can hear the noisy students makes me happy and spurs me to be a better teacher. 

But...now, I am not a teacher.  And it hurts to say that. I love working with technology and in some ways, I am still "teaching"; it's just not in a student based environment. I don't think I could ever not teach. 

Anyway, it started as a sad day, then went to a busy day with interjections from teacher friends keeping me up-to-date on the happenings at school. Who knows how it will end? 

On another note, I have written today. And, here's a teacher bot that kept me company today to remind me that I will always be a teacher at heart. 

The teacher bot was a part of Meg Frampton's Chandler the Robot collection.
