That is not my story. Sure, I had fabulous teachers growing up. A few times in elementary, I was inspired by an amazing lesson and thought it would be fun to teach, but that had faded by high school. I started college as a Business Major and ended with a Psychology Degree. LOL. In case no one ever told you, there is not much you can do with a BA in Psychology. I knew I would eventually go to grad school, but I wasn’t sure what for.
I took a job as a Para working with high school students with multiple disabilities. I LOVED it. I felt like I was really making a difference. I spent time talking to parents about their child’s educationally history and it broke my heart. They all seemed to have at least one horror story. After a few months, I decided to go get my Master’s in Special Education. I actually planned on teaching middle school. Thankfully, I ended up in a 1st grade inclusion classroom. Now, middle school students scare me.
I know this is a really time to be a teacher. Morale is at an all time low. Testing is at a freakish all time high. We are all feeling it. Sometimes, we just need to take a moment to smile and remember WHY we wanted to teach.

I just had to laugh at your "there's not much you can do with a BA in psychology" comment. I had a college friend that learned that the hard way! LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing why you love to teach–I always love to read about why others chose to become teachers. After years of teaching, I still love that magical moment when my each of my kindergarten students realizes they can read. I have a bunch of your products and my class loves them all! I'd love to try your Spring Word Work for Kindergarten packet.
