I do what I do
because
I must
Have meaningful connections
Touch the hearts of those
I am entrusted to teach.

I do what I do
because
I must
Let my children know
They are important to me
That they are special.

I do what I do
because
I must
Fulfill my mission
It is always personal
And more than just a job.

I do what I do
because
I must

because
I care

because I am a teacher.

Gary,

I applaud you as a teacher. We need good teachers like you in our schools to inspire the youth who may have a bleak outlook on life. So I say, thank you for your dedication, hardwork and patience.

Because your 'must' teach equates with caring, I understand your labor of love in teaching.
