TEACHERS

We’re a peculiar crew…

We’ve been branded through scars but they love us.

C’mon, come and tell us how to love our jobs—love our students and love the care we give.

We already know we’re different.

We are a carry-it-all crew.

We’ve danced around our smiles.

Shot daggers through metal-filed teeth but we love them…our children, our patients.

We’re the no-amount-of-money-would-ever-be-enough-crew.

We do it because we love them and we see kings and queens in them even though they’re humongous kids.

We’re a peculiar crew, we carry them with us, they force us to be better, to live with care…

We are the mothers, family, friends, caregivers and educators.

We see them and love them. We’re the peculiar crew.
