In Your Hands (Song for My Teacher)

We teachers sometimes don't know what becomes of our students years down the road.  

I think a lot about them, wondering what they're doing now...

I just happened to find this song while doing research for something else.  I hit the play button and before I knew it, these questions popped into my mind...

Did I make a difference in their lives? 

Was I a good role model? 

 Did I keep the "bar high"? 

Were my expectations consistent?

Did I expect things from my students that I'd expect of my own children?

Did they realize that my purpose was to lead them down a path to help them become productive, responsible adults?

One of the most important questions that I think about is....

Do they know how MUCH I care about them?

The minute I heard the song and really listened to the words,  I pinned it on Pinterest and put it on my Facebook page. 

I must have played it 20 times and each time I thought about those who've passed through my classes and all the students around the world, who will soon start a new school year. 

As I listened to it, tears streamed down my face..... very happy tears. 

So, of course, I set out to find other videos about teachers.

With the beginning of a new school year approaching...

How are YOU feeling?

I know you're busy, but take a few minutes to watch these videos.

Good teachers need to be UPLIFTED

Good teachers need A PAT ON THE BACK

Good teachers need to know they make a difference in children's lives,  

but it's sometimes 

not apparent ...

Take a few minutes and watch these videos. :)

"Once a teacher, ALWAYS a teacher"....
