This week (on Thursday) was our first varsity home game of the season. I saw my class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this week and I told Mrs. Anderson about my games this week. I only told her because in our class, Mrs. Anderson and the kids follow my stats in the newspaper and they tell me that they are "so excited to know a celebrity and a super star".
I informed Mrs. Anderson and the class that Thursday and Friday were going to be really big games and that they would probably see my name in the newspaper this week.
At the game on Thursday, I had an amazing game. I went 3 for 3 and hit two home runs, a double, and scored 5 of our 12 runs! Before I went up to bat my second at bat, I heard a little girl's voice say "Ms. King! We're here to watch you play!" I turned around and saw half of my class sitting behind the backstop, cheering me on! Mrs. Anderson and all of the parents of my students were so excited to be there and watch me!
Them coming to my game just to see my made me realize that this is why I want to teach. I don't want to teach because they came and supported me, I want to teach because the classroom environment makes a family environment that is enjoyable and fun! I look at my students as my family and I would do anything for each and everyone of them. They are the reason that I love what I do; Teaching.
