Crisis

It has been a wonderful journey with my toddlers, I have loved every moment of every day with them. The parents support is amazing and I am so thankful for the parents. They motivates me, they inspires me. Most importantly, they value and appreciate me and my work.

To commence a new academic year, I will be taking a not-so-new class, I know them since they were tiny toddlers, was there as their caregiver for almost two years, watched them get toilet-trained, taught them how to speak and write and many stuffs. I guess life is a full circle, what comes around goes around.  

I wonder why are teachers often underappreciated. How can families and school empower each other? What is the purpose of work when passion weans off? Is this what they called quarter-life crisis?
