I had the opportunity the other day to experience what teachers have been telling me about. The way the children bring a smile to your face and really just make your day. In my school I get to help with a FIOP class which is a special education class. We had an assembly and in this assembly the principal explained that in honor of the olympics he wanted every kid in the school to run one lap around the gym 1 class at a time with a torch made by a couple of the teachers. We took our FIOP class in there and I have never seen 8 kids more happy in my life. With everybody cheering them on they made a lap around the gym with their smile never leaving their face, and it honestly made my day to see them that happy. This made me realize that this is partially what I went into teaching for, and I am so excited to have many more of those amazing days.
