How have you learned from your overeall experience?

I have learned that being a teacher is not easy at all, not only do you have to teach students; I have learned that sometimes you have to make sure everything is okay in their home life.  Sometimes teachers spend money that the school will not give them in order to reward their students or help them understand a concept better.  They have alot of responsility and stress on them.  I have realized that it takes a special person to be a teacher and I have also learned that I am not one of those special people.  I look up alot more to the teachers that are trying their best to teach their students in the best way possible.
