Some days you come into work feeling defeated and then a kid you thought you were failing writes you the sweetest note. #thisiswhyiteach

It was a massive honour to bear witness to @royalroadsu most recent group of #indigenous graduates. A big shout out to two of my students, Haley Friesen and Lilian Trapper. So proud of what you have accomplished. So looking forward to seeing what you will do. #thisiswhyiteach #inspired #leadership (at Royal Roads University) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4jXkWJl7QH/?igshid=1avz4m6z8mz07

My awesome student Mrs. J altered her bridesmaid dress with private lessons! I am so stoked for her, look at her smile! This is why I love teaching, seriously to give someone a skill to save money or make themselves feel better in their clothing! I love it! #thisiswhyiteach #sewingstudent #friends #alterations #makeitgit #stunning #needleinkandthread #beavercreeksewinglessons #beavercreekstrong #beavercreeksews #beavercreekcreates #sewdayton (at Needle, Ink and Thread) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLQH8qD-CC/?igshid=1k8u1keqxmq9f

So, I've spent today being a bit grumpy as I'm so tired and am facing the prospect of working through the third weekend in a row. Then this email pops up and I cannot express the strength of emotion I feel; pride, joy, excitement, elation. I have the best job in the world and sometimes I forget how privileged I am that I get to do what I love every day. #teachersofinstagram #bestjobintheworld #thisiswhyIteach https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwOCq4F2pUrhV11cND_nAHYeqnbysejDzU1FE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19gy9ioqmiy1q

EDUCATION // FW'56.1304° N, 106.3468° W. My course will help you understand the where, when, why of cutting and the reasoning behind every technique. The motive is to get you to set some goals and achieving them by consistently practicing and building your confidence. #thisiswhyIteach . . . #menshair #mensstyle #thaddeustaughtme #hairstyleoftheday #mensfashion #barbershopconnect #sharpfade #menshaircut #ootdmens #ootdmen #torontobarber #montrealbarber #blackandwhitehair #ukbarbers #nastybarber #picoftheday #haircutoftheday #hairshoot #menshairshooter #lorealeducation #micropigmentation (at Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/BprsWU2lqrv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u7q57bb3g8wb

So I rarely put pictures up of my students on social media, but these 6 really made me proud today. Today they took part of Generation Citizen’s Action Civics Day in which they had to present the work their classes had worked on this semester. 801 worked on Racial Inequality and the lack of funding in predominantly minority school districts. 802 worked on school bullying. 803 worked on homelessness in the Bronx. They created surveys, researched, and even called legislators to get their issues solved. It’s a shame that our school is closing because I really believed that they would have had success. We did not win any awards, but however we had fun and we even met Justina Valentine from Wildin Out when we walked in Times Square. #teacherproudmoment #thisiswhyiteach #wecanmakeadifference #civicsday2018 #generationcitizen (at New York City Bar Association)
