Why I Teach

Saw this challenge by T2Tchat and Teacher2Teacher this morning and thought it sounded fun:

It was a bit difficult to put it in poetic form in 140 characters, so I had to be a little creative...

Why teach-Why learn? Why take a chance?
2 reach
2 burn
2 join the dance
2 encourage & inspire
Not fill a bucket
But light a fire #WHYITEACH

I'm looking forward to the responses. Hope you check it out, too. We can all use a little encouragement/reminder this time of year to keep going.

Here's a link to their video: Why I Teach  It's mostly related to K-12, but the message is the same for higher education.
