If you are battling stress and anxiety about starting the school year, working as an educator, etc., remember that teaching is incredibly rewarding.  Are there challenges?  Absolutely.  However, the positives far exceed the negatives.  We teach  because few can do what we do.  We teach because we can reach kids.  We teach because we are obsessed with watching students succeed.  We teach because we want to  better our world.  There is nothing else like it.  Enjoy the ride!
