Teachers make the world a better place.

Here’s a great story. Ellen Jones had been teaching for many years. She was at a dinner and met Mr. Hammerly, a big-time CEO of a huge company. Mr. Hammerly was very impressed with Ellen and how smart she was. He said to her, “Why on earth have you spent all these years teaching? What have you made? You sure don’t make much money.”

Ms. Jones responded, “I’ll tell you what I would make every day.

• I make kids feel better.
• I make kids feel loved.
• I make kids wonder and appreciate.
• I make them appreciate the wonder of books.
• I make them feel that learning is fun.
• I make them see the good in others.
• I make them learn to listen and respect others.
• More than anything, I make a difference. That’s what I make.”

And that is what you make too. You are a difference maker.

Have a great day.
