Id say it is a very big deal and a privilage to be able to do the job you love in your home town. Being able to make a difference and have some form of impact on eduacating the young masses. (we wanna read about a bunch of brainwashed kids who talk about SS instead of Football )
Well, as I said there are many reasons I wanted to be here the biggest being returing the favor to the school district/teachers/administrators that made a difference in me. Also being only 2-3 mins from my house the exspenses of driving everyday are really low.
In the end I hope the kids enjoy my class and feel that they learned more than they thought they would.
