Some extra thoughts to consider as a new teacher

One Hundred Years from now (excerpt from "Within My Power" by Forest Witcraft)

One Hundred Years from now It will not matter what kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
how much money was in my bank account nor what my clothes looked like.
But the world may be a better place because I was important in the life of a child.

Hebrew Proverb"A child is not a vessel to be filled, but a lamp to be lit".

This is a great Video, watch what it means to be a teacher!
