Why I Teach

It's getting close to crunch time (state testing) and I, like so many others are stressed. In addition to making sure the students are equipped for greatness, there is misbehavior (kids and adults), balancing work and home, and incessant crying (again, kids and adults.) 

Alls I know is that my Bible is working overtime over here....

I had a student ask me this week, "Ms. Benson, if teaching is such a hard job, why do you do it?"

Love. Sigh. It is both a blessing and a curse. We seek it, we crave that heart that connects with ours, we believe that somewhere there is someone who excites our soul. 

And sometimes we are fortunate enough to find it. 

Final Exam

Now as y'all know, I have had some peculiar meetings/dates in the past (see here, here, and here for reference.) So I have decided that I am going to start my own business. I'm gonna interview all potential dudes who want to date women and do an appraisal. I will take out all of the guesswork so you won't have to endure a date with a don't. Hmmm, catchy, maybe I can call it Don't Date A Don't?

I used to be a G.

Don't look at me, I did! 

I used to be harder than the secret to Donald Trump's hairstyle.
