I still might stab someone with a pencil.

Some days I am a bad teacher. Some days I get too caught up in how nobody listens, or how so many students take advantage of my (waning) good nature, or I just get mad that nobody cares about the outcome of their education as much as I do (it seems) - administration and parents, included.

But what I like about myself as a teacher is that even on bad days, I stop myself and go over the concepts in painstaking detail once again, because I can't stay angry enough not to do right by the kids.

This is something I wish I could get myself to do in other areas of my life.
