As a fellow teacher (?), there's good days and bad days in front of classes.
Something I've also learned is that even when you think it's a bad day, some students really don't know the difference.
I've also had days where I thought, "Oh god, I don't want to go in front of that class today." I left the class re-energized and feeling better than ever.
Being a good teacher and wanting to be a teacher is a special breed of person, but it's something that you know in your heart.
I gave up on my English Education degree because I knew that I couldn't do it and faced a scary road of uncertainty. It put me where I am today, so for that I'm very grateful.
Hang in there through the good days and the bad, but keep a perspective on where your heart lies. There's not just one path that you have to keep.
