What teachers make

We are in the middle of March, but the weather tells otherwise. Snow in the middle of March? The weather is crazy. When the tracking program ended on last year’s December, I was glad that I didn’t have to walk on freezing days. The students were cold, the volunteers were cold, and the teachers were cold. When I heard that the tracking program will resume in March, I was happier than ever. Just imagine yourself waling through a path surrounded by spring flowers, inhaling the fresh air. However, now is colder that ever. Everyone is trying their best to hold it together.

My point here is that I sincerely respect the volunteers and teachers. I believe that the students are great that they are working in a weather like this, but it would be impossible without those teachers and volunteers. Of course teachers are paid, and volunteers get points, but this is impossible to do when your heart doesn’t want to do it. The teachers have to spend majority of their days with the students. To be honest, it is hard for me to be with them for 2 hours. I can’t imagine how hard it can be for teachers. Despite, teachers never frown in front of the students. They always smile. Teachers are friends, life mentors, and even parents to these students. They don’t simply teach math, but they teach what life can be and what hope you can find it out of it. They show it by action that if you have your heart, you follow your heard, and if you work hard, you will always be rewarded.
