So you’re looking for a Hero?

My wife travels a few times a month while this can make things hectic with my job and the kids it can also be rewarding as well. I have a chance to spend quality time with the kids and get into a grove of our own. But there is one thing that i do not find rewarding and that is homework. I will joke with my wife and say that I think I missed my calling as a teacher while I am yelling at one of my kids to quit crying and finish their homework. So to the people that are teachers thanks.

Looking for a hero?

You really do not have to look that far. Despite all the problems in the school systems across America, school teachers still laugh often and much. They have the respect of intelligent people and the affection of students who care. Teachers strive to find the best in their students, even where some see little hope. No other American bestows a finer gift than teaching - reaching out to the brilliant and the retarded, the gifted and the average.

Teachers leave the world a little bit better than they found it, knowing if they have redeemed just one life, they have done God's work. They are America's unsung heroes.

again not my words, just remember who some of the real hero's are.
