Why do I teach?

Today, I have been able to think about  my personal "tipping point." Why do I teach? What started my teaching life? Why do I still do it?  It has been a long time since anyone has seriously asked me that question.  The answer is simple. I like kids. I love to see their faces glow when understanding clicks in. I love to learn from them and learn about what makes them tick. My students, and everyone elses' kids, are our future and it my responsibility to help prepare them for the future world that they face. So, thanks Dorry for making me think about that.
