Why teaching is the best job in the world- I got this from one of my ex-teacher trainees yesterday....if I ever needed a reason to do what I do, this was it.

Hi Janet

Hope you are well.

Just to let you know, today I had an amazing lesson.  I love teaching.  I am very lucky to have a very enthusiastic group of learners.  I am becoming very attached to them all.
This is what I want to share with you.

One of my learners is having a rough time at the moment.  At the end of the lesson she waited until everyone had gone to tell me this;  she said that she really didn't want to get up out of bed today, however, she thought, I love my Wednesday psychology lesson, Wednesday is my best day, I feel uplifted and I leave the class "buzzing all day".  
My learner is a sweetheart but also "true grit". and without stereotyping " you wouldn't mess with her or get on her wrong side lol".  I felt so overwhelmed and proud.

Then I remembered, days when I felt like that.   However I would say the same in my head, "its janets lesson", and I knew I would be going in because I was going to your class. and I would always feel better when we were all together.  I wanted to let you know that I thought of you.

Really hate the paperwork, struggle to keep on top of it if I am honest, but I remember you saying how rewarding teaching is, and wow, I felt that today.  Thank you for not only being a teacher but taking the time to listen to my fallen days,  I will never forget you.

KInd regards

Your friend who you inspired x
