These young people in your class will always remember you in various manners because you are the teacher who cares. Not the one who gets paid to baysit them or pretend to teach them, but rather the educator who is passionate about the career he has chosen and is committed to his students. You alone cannot make the difference, but you are a catalyst of change. Bringing your ideas to the table of the admins and letting them hear your "voice" is how you will begin to make things happen, even if they are in small venues. Do not lose the drive, keep going forward. We need more of you on our side, the committed educators. You are making a difference!!!

I can feel your enthusiasm and desire to be a good teacher. Your comment about "I want to have awesome discussions with fellow teachers about the children we teach, with some administrators about ideas we can implement for next year, and even sit down and think about how I can become that master teacher people keep hallowing." really hit home for me. As long as you have this goal and keep trying to achieve it, you are on the right track. This was an awesome post! I can feel your enthusiasm and desire to be a good teacher.

In my situation, I am role model for the students of color, the girls, and the White students. A heavy load, but doable.

I'm glad you included it in the Carnival! I think too often teachers ignore the "role model" part we take in the lives of our students. Even at the secondary level when they're too cool to like us, we play a tremendous part in their development. This is especially true in homes where there is not a parent who stays home. With the changing dynamics of culture, it has come to the point where two-parent homes are the exception. Even more rare are those homes where one of the parents stays home all day.
