Today, I’m writing with a personal story about my experiences as a first year teacher. It’s not an easy job. I have my own sets of frustrations, my own set of rewards, and my own plans for the future. It’s hard to plan out all the details of my day. When you’re tired, it’s easy to skip all the times you have to make a pass through the hallways. I’ve been there.
Students are an expensive investment, but one many of us make without considering all the costs. When it comes to choosing a university, you may have more freedom in the choice of degree, or even the choice of major, than you might think. In this article, we look at the costs of getting a degree, and the benefits.
The next time you want to drop a student off

Few teachers will admit to failing a student.
No one I know will ever turn their back on a child, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy to find a way to support them, especially if they keep making the same mistakes. It is difficult to understand what is going on in a child’s life; even knowing the facts about their living situation is not enough to understand their problems.
Or how close they are to making or completely destroying their future.
The next time you think about dropping a student, consider the following story. It recently appeared on a mixed martial arts website and features commentary from fighter Josh Neer.
When I was a minor, I got tickets for drunk driving all the time, and at some point, if you get that many tickets, you become unfit, he said. I had one more and had to sit out my entire senior year.
Nir got this message in the principal’s office. He didn’t take it so well.
I got angry, said it couldn’t be done and ran out the door, he said. The following week I was not in a very good mood and I told myself I was screwing up the world and doing what I wanted. The director, Mr. Hook, had other things on his mind.
He came to me and said he would go to the school board meeting and try to arrange things so I could at least wrestle and play baseball, Nir said. I’ve always been a real asshole to this client. He was the last person I thought could help me like that.
But Mr. M. Hook convinced the school board to let Mr. Neer keep his right to play, so that he could at least stay on the mats and on the baseball field, even if it were closed.
It was a turning point in my life when I felt that if I couldn’t wrestle or play sports, I would probably deteriorate because I had nothing to look forward to. I looked forward to playing sports, especially in my senior year. You don’t want to sit around.
Nir is still in contact with the principal, who eventually transferred to another school. Today, he cares for the kids who come to his gym in Des Moines and does his best to be a positive role model.
I’m just trying to help 18- to 19-year-olds, he said. I have been in this business for 13 years and I have seen many people take the wrong path. I try to talk to them, share my experiences and help them on the right track.
I think the biggest mistake is the parents. If your parents don’t care about you and aren’t role models, you’ll have a hard time staying on track and doing the right thing. I think a lot of kids do something to fit in with the crowd.
