WHAT TEACHERS MAKE

The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life. One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, 'What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?'
He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers: 'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.' To stress his point he said to another guest; 'You're a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?'
Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, 'You want to know what I make? (She paused for a second, then began...)
  • Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
  • I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor.
  • I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can't make them sit for 5 without an I Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.
  • You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table.)
  • I make kids wonder.
  • I make them question.
  • I make them apologize and mean it.
  • I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
  • I teach them to write and then I make them write. Keyboarding isn't everything.
  • I make them read, read, read.
  • I make them show all their work in math. They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.
  • I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know in English while preserving their unique cultural identity.
  • I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.
  • I make my students stand, placing their hand over their heart to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, One Nation Under God, because we live in the United States of America.
  • Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.'
(Bonnie paused one last time and then continued.)
'Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn't everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant... You want to know what I make?
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE . What do you make Mr. CEO?'
His jaw dropped, he went silent.

"Now That I Have You "

All my life it seemed
That something had been missing
I didn't know what to do
Days would pass me by
Each as lonely as the other
Until I met you
You opened the doorAnd let the sunshine in
My life will never be the same again
[Chorus:]
Now that I have you
Everything just seems so right
Now that I have you I'm alive
You are the song that I'll be
Singing my whole life through
I'm living in a brighter world
Now that I have you
Looking ahead I see
The two of us together
I'll never let you go
You're so dear to me
And it isn't any wonder
Why I love you so
You opened the door
And let the sunshine in
My life will never be the same again

[Chorus:]
Now that I have you
Everything just seems so right
Now that I have you I'm alive
You are the song that I'll be
Singing my whole life through
I'm living in a brighter world
Now that I have ...you

[Bridge:]
I feel this love is real
I see it in your eyes
You take my hand and I understand
You are mine
You are mine

[Chorus:]
Now that I have you
Everything just seems so right
Now that I have you I'm alive
You are the song that I'll be
Singing my whole life through
I'm living in a brighter world
Now that I have

(Now that I have you everything just seems so right)
I'm living in a brighter world
Now that I have you
