Sometimes days are hard and it seems like there are little opportunities to feel joy or take a second to laugh about something. There are times where I find myself stressed, exhausted, and with little motivation to do things. Being a teacher, there are times when this happens a lot. But then… the littlest thing happens that sparks a smile, reminds you of the happiness, or makes you laugh a little. This is the joy that I find in teaching. There is always someone there, whether a colleague or one of your 5 year old students that are there to make your day a little bit better. Although it might not fix all of your problems, it leaves a bright spot in your day for just a moment.
