Teachers do what we do because we love it. Everyone knows that teachers are underpaid and overworked. We certainly don't do this job for the money or the great hours. Most of us work 50 to 60 hours a week while only being paid for 37 1/2. Sure, we are out of school when the students are out, but most of us are attending workshops, researching topics, creating lessons, gathering resources and paying for these things out of our own pockets while not earning a salary. Many of us have to work another job over the summer to keep paying our bills during that time. So, why do we do what we do? It's more than a job, it's a lifestyle. We live this life because of the connections we make with people. The connections we make with our students, their parents and siblings, other teachers, administrators and all types of educators.
