"When adults see a group of teens on the sidewalk in town the two groups usually ignore each other. The adults are suspicious and the kids are in their own world. The two groups generally avoid each other; and this seems to be the norm to which our society is accustomed. But whenever I see teenagers hanging out on the streets, I think 'I wish I could have them in my classroom,' and I hope that they are thinking the same thing about me.

One of my friends suggested that the reason we both became teachers was because we were too serious to fully appreciate high school the first time around as students and that we needed to go back to enjoy the escapades we missed. There is a lot of truth to this, I couldn't have found a more entertaining job setting than high school. I am grateful that every day of my career has been filled with comedy and drama.

High school is also an intense environment that breeds close knit friendships. I am still in constant contact with several students and teachers that I worked with in 1979, and from every year since. Being a teacher has granted me deep friendships with students, their parents and my colleagues. I'm so glad that my life has been so enriched by my job, I shudder to think about how different it might have been in an office or a lab without meeting a whole group of new students every year." - Seth Berg
