Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It is World Teachers' Day here in Australia.
Interesting that UNESCO lists World Teachers' Day as 5th October.

I wore this badge with pride today.
Even though I felt the stress of the VCE students sitting for their 3 hour English paper this morning...
(A little sad that this will be the last time I give them some encouragement...)
Even though I have a welter of reports to write this weekend...
Even though there seems to be more and more meetings...
More and more paper work...
Even though sometimes I am so tired that I can't sleep...
I remember the special moments...
When one student finally succeeds in writing an essay...
When another writes a poem to surprise me
And it's not homework...
When a magic smile and hug drift my way...
I wore this badge with pride today...
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Sounds so much like me! But then I am a teacher too.
Nothing to add. There's nothing like being a teacher. I love it!
