Teaching

The job I paid tuition for.
The job I barely get paid for.
The job I trained for.
The job I was born for.

The job that lets me teach them.
The job that might make me hate them.
The job that could let me help them.
The job that will make me love them.

The job that will fill me.
The job that will drain me.
The job that will build me.
The job that will define me.

The job that’s more than teaching.
The job that’s all about teaching.
The job that will never stop teaching
Me.

The job that’s not just a job.
