Summary
I have been in Preschool Teacher for the last 30 years. In that time I have grown from an Assistant Teacher to a Master Teacher. Being a teacher is much more then just showing up, making crafts and getting summers off. Teaching involves so much more, It is a lot of fun but also have to be willing to change "hats" at any moment and willing to give 100% to all of them. Everyday brings a new situations and empathy is the major attribute to have. At any giving moment it is a must be a nurse, referee, therapist, drill sergeant, and willing to get silly. I loved showing up every single day and have confidently sent thousands of children out into the work who were smart, kind and thoughtful humans
