One of the best rewards as a teacher

Being a teacher has many benefits and rewards - helping students reach the "A-HA" moment, summer break and holiday vacations, school lunch, etc.  But to me, one thing is more rewarding than anything else.

This evening I met up with two of my former students.  Both were strong math students; now both are going to be math teachers.

To me, nothing is more rewarding than knowing that I made a positive impact on a student and that he/she wants to be a math teacher as well.  I'm proud of these two gentlemen on a number of levels.  Best of luck to both of you!
