Why I Teach
There is a moment for most teachers when the lure of working with kids surpasses all You know, you just know, that you are meant to teach. But in the day-to-day crush of details and bus duty, politics and paperwork, or kids without their homework for the eighth day in a row, life can erode passion and distract you from your sense of purpose. This collection of stories from teachers everywhere will remind you of those magic moments when a light goes on in the eyes of a child, when resistance breaks, when hearts connect--moments that make the challenges of teaching worth every second and remind you of why you are here in the first place.

As a new teacher, these short but powerful stories of inspiring teachers and amazing moments in this profession made me feel that what I had chosen to do with my life was not only perfect for me but so much more worthwhile than I had yet to discover. I can't wait to see what the rest of my career brings and how many beautiful stories like those written in this book I will be able to tell!
