Teaching makes me happy. I used to teach MS and I currently teach 6th grade. What makes my job enjoyable is being able to talk to my students and have"life-lessons" with my them. I love talking to them about high school, college, and possible career options. They gain so much from our conversations and they tell me that all the time.
