My Teacher Story (linky party)

        This summer I have really enjoyed linking up with the different parties and reading all about all of you out in blogland.  Today I have decided to join Janaye's linky party and share my teacher story.  Here goes:

        I guess my teaching journey began when my sister went to Kindergarten.  Apparently (I only remember the story because I was not even three years old at the time) my mom was bringing my sister to kindergarten and she was crying and didn't want to stay.  I, however, had already sat down and made a new friend and that was it.  I was hooked.  School was where I wanted to be.  Fast forward a few years to my own school experience and it was Heaven.  I was that  kid that brought home textbooks even when I didn't have homework so that I could teach my stuffed animals and Barbies everything that they missed while I was at school.  I played school with my brother until he purposely would do things to get sent to the "principal's office" (my mom) I guess I couldn't take a hint that he didn't want to play.  I don't remember ever wanting to do anything else.  There was a time when I thought I might like to moonlight in the summer as a beautician, but that didn't work out.  After all I earn those eight weeks off!!!  I had a few teachers that inspired my to be great some because they were great and others because they were AWFUL and I vowed to be nothing like them because no student of mine was going to have a year like I did.  But I really and truly feel that I was called into teaching.  I love what I do and I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to teach for almost a decade.  I still can't believe it's been that long but that's completely beside the point :)  So that's it.  No frills, no chills, just me.
