Teachers of GOLO:
Is there any one thing you absolutely love about being a teacher? As a student, I often felt that my teachers were pleased when they knew, I mean knew 100% that I completely grasped a new concept. The look on a teacher's face when they know they're getting through to you, in my opinion...is priceless.
But back to you now, what makes teaching worth it?

As far as pay goes, they have the option of getting the pay divided into 12 months.

My favorite part of teaching is first thing in the morning. The kids are just waking up, so most of them are in a good mood. They are eager to start something new, they haven't had time to get in any arguments or trouble yet so they are happy. And we start our day with homeroom so I have 10-15 minutes to talk to them about whatever and really get to know them and what is going on in their lives.

It is a truly rewarding job, not monetarily, but just all the lives that I have the potential to impact. I would love for at least one student to one day say to me, "Ya know, something you said caused me to improve my life." I really try to incorporate morals into the curriculum, as some students aren't exposed at all to any positive role models.
Now, ask me during the peak season of school, and I probably won't be this positive :-)
