Work...

I don't talk about my job very often. I don't take it very seriously and I have very little pride in it. I honestly work for the paycheck it provides and half price tuition for Troy. I'm really not into teaching anymore. I'm just over it. I don't want to be other kids momma.

The thing is that even though I don't LOVE what I am doing, I work hard at being the best at it. I've been promoted three times, been teacher of the month, nominated for teacher of the year, and a whole slew of other accomplishments. I haven't even been working for my school a year.

Last week I accomplished another task. We have monthly retention goals. Meaning that our goal is to keep every single kid in our summer school program. My goal was kind of high. 70 kids!! Mine was the highest. And guess what!! I did it. I was the only one to retain every single kid and I even added two.

I was presented with a bonus and a gift card for all new toys and materials for my main classroom. Haters haters haters. I had people not talking to me. But my little voice tells me to work harder just so they can hate me more!!
