Am I where I am supposed to be?

I have recently been wondering if I am supposed to stick with teaching and what I am doing. I remember thinking once about what my favorite past time is, I love to read. I love books. I wanted to do what I love most. Then it dawned on me that I love working with children. I love working with all children. I am a firm believer that all children really want to do as asked. I just have to learn how to work with the students I teach in a way different than other children. It is so important to listen to the kids. Listening to them will teach me how to help them learn. We do play games, we do take our time, but we are making progress at a speed that is appropriate for them, not just me or the curriculum. If they could keep up, they would not need me! I am where I need to be. I am helping "The least of these..." I also know that they just need to be loved and shown that no matter what they are important. I am not the most patient person in the world, but I try. I try to do my best to listen to their frustrations. I try to read their progress. I try to recognize how to adjust what I do to meet them where they are and continually take them a step farther. I do get tired, but I seldom get tired of 'my kids'... my tired comes from my body and trying to learn how to treat myself in a way that I don't get tired of others.
