Success
I’ve had students graduate and go on to successful, fulfilling careers, perhaps, in terms of position and monetary compensation, more successful than I.
Nevertheless, their success fuels and reinforces my calling as an educator. When I bump into a former student who’s doing well in life, his or her success only makes me want to continue teaching all the more. I don’t want to “move up” so to speak. I want to perfect my skills as a teacher and visionary for the ones that are with me right now. I’m in it for life.
I don’t know what some people are doing who teach for a year or two after college until they figure out what they want to do with their lives. We know that teaching is one of the most satisfying jobs one could perform. There’s instant gratification every day. There are only a handful of professions that offer that.
