How are you doing?
Asked John, another teacher and my best friend at the school.
Surviving, I said.
That about all you can ask for.
"'Actually, I believe we should aim for higher than that.
We should be working to do our absolute best for our students, shouldn't we?'
It was Megan, the newest teacher here, having just started this year.
"'Of course we should, Megan, but there's more to it than that.
We're teachers, they're our students.
What more could there be?'
How long have you been working here?
Two weeks?
Yes, but I don't see what the difference... I've got seven years here.
How about you, John?
Nine.
Nine years.
That's 16 years between us.
So trust us when we say there's more to working here than you realize.
Keep your eyes open and you might survive this place too.
I want to do more than survive.
