Now I don't have children of my own (praise the lord) but I think that after my first semester of teaching, I may be able to identify a bit more with the idea such a thing as maternal instinct. I have developed a personal bond with the majority of my students--some closer than others--and they feel free to tell me a lot about what is going on with them in their lives. When they are upset, I genuinely feel upset for them. I realize that some of them have a lot going on in their lives that is beyond their control--and on top of that they have to deal with all of the drama that comes with being in high school. It literally hurts me when they hurt.
Who knew I had feelings?

This post is emo as hell. I can't believe you didn't tell me about this blog. I've put it in my RSS feed. You can't hide from me now. God, that sounds creepy as hell. But you know me, I'm creepy.
