"point is, you're a teacher...that's what you do best. anywhere you go in life there is always gonna be a classroom full of kids who need you...promise you that. "
From the movie, Tenure..
I really empathized a lot with the main character in that movie. He didn't have a secure position, and a university wouldn't offer him tenure, but he loved what he did. His students loved him and he made a difference in their lives.
I am in sort of the same position ~ I am not a college professor seeking tenure, but I'm a teacher seeking a teaching position. I do a lot of long term substitute teaching. I connect with students, impact their lives, they connect with me and love me as their teacher. Like the quote says, I'm a teacher, and there will always be kids who need me. That's the important thing ~ that i'm affecting students' lives for the better.
