One of the most rewarding aspects of being a teacher is building relationships. Getting to know my students beyond their academic capabilities and seeing them develop into well-rounded humans is a gift. I grew up surrounded by educators, and I always knew there was a special bond that develops between teachers and students.

It’s the holiday season – a time when many of us are *attempting* to slow down, but in reality, it often feels like we’re on a six-lane highway weaving in and out of cars, racing toward the finish line. It’s a busy, exciting, and hectic time of year for many of us, especially teachers.
