Well, as you know, teaching is never easy, and teaching at the high school level is even more difficult sometimes. And as an English teacher myself, it's oftentimes very difficult to get our students engaged in what we're reading, making connections with the text itself. However, I believe my proudest moments in teaching are when we do read novels in class and the students come to this class the next day. Let's go, Ms. Bug. Let's read. Let's read the next chapter. Let's read. And I want to know what happened to this character. And then the following year, if they don't have me, they come and they find me and they tell me, Miss Book, I went and read the second novel, and I can't believe this happened. Or, Miss Book, I went and read the third novel and just igniting that little not little, just igniting. That passion for reading my students is what makes me the proudest. Yes, I love when I go over different types of sentence types, and they're able to identify them, they're able to emulate them. But I think my proudest moment is every single time a student comes to me and tells me, I read the second novel, or can you help me find that the sequel to that book we read because they want to read. So uniting that passion for reading in my students, that's what makes me most proud to be a teacher. Thank you.
