Job Status and Sweet Sixteen

Yesterday I got to thinking.

Yes, I know I think a lot but then time I was thinking hard.

Real hard.

Scratch your head hard.

I was at Jeff's co-worker's house and being introduced to his family.

Jeff's roommates girlfriend was also in town so we all got to meet them together.

Then a question was asked, "What's your major?"

I said Elementary.

Then they turned to the other gal and she said, "Well I'm going to be going to med school."

Instantly, they became interested asking all about the MCAT horror tests and goobaly gop I don't know anything about.

Then they were trying to figure out something later on about a Spanish word and for some reason thought the future doctor would know the answer. Hola, Me llamo Molly. See I know it too ;)

I think thought to myself...hmmm...what is SO different about a doctor and a teacher. Okay, a lot. (Y'all are brilliant. You saves lives. You try to take others pain away. You are AWESOME)

Obviously they have to be extremely extremely smart, dedicated, and trustworthy. But who said teacher's aren't either? I mean they don't like "technically" save lives....but really, they do. It's just not necessarily in the same sort of way. Doctors, I love you, trust me. I could NEVER EVERRRRRRR do what you do, but sometimes I think teacher's get gipped. I don't know how to spell gipped. I apologize. 

Teachers aren't dumbies. I hate when I hear people acting like being a teacher is such a piece of pie job with all giggles and smiles. No people, they poo their pants, they get mad, the learn at all different levels, and they are no where near independent.  Ya, it's not open heart surgery but it is a big deal. They need us to help them grow into young adults who will be good people and succeed with whatever they have a passion to grow up to be. They need US to become doctors, lawyers, CEO's, Presidents, and etc. I think people sometimes look over the fact that if these children were not taught how to do all of these things, then they simply wouldn't know how to do them.

That's my piece of mind at least.

I'm sure a lot of others differ.

I use to think the same thing though. I use to think, "How hard could it be to hang out with kids all day and teach them really cool things and do experiments and art?" HAHA

Ya, I am laughing at that one now.

It is hard.

It is ALOT of work.

Our reward?

Changing lives.

I wouldn't change that for the world.

Okay cool now that I got that off my chest. 

HOW ABOUT THOSE JAYHAWKS?!

Sweet Sixteen.

6:30 P.M. Central Time.

Be there.

Am I obsessed with Jeff's Mac and Photobooth?

Obviously not.

HAPPY FRIDAY LOVES!
