I practice my patience - and my sarcasm and disbelieving stare. I shape young minds and nurture future leaders, and also explain why sexist jokes are never appropriate in a classroom or workplace. I eradicate 'gay' and 'homo' used as put-downs, all the while developing a disturbing fondness for other slang.
I'm a teacher. Sometimes we actually learn some science. Sometimes we learn to be better people. Both are good.
I get to have an unhealthy attachment to my laptop and drink a lot of coffee. My students make me laugh every single day. Sometimes they make me want to scream and break things.
You want to know what I make? Taylor Mali says it better than I could.
