Not many people have the patience to work with children, especially those under the age of 5. Let's be real, it's hard. Being a preschool teacher is hard work. It's emotionally exhausting, but most people will agree that it's worth it. We take on many roles throughout the day. We have to be the counselor, the doctor, the emergency assistance, the voice of reason, the mind of an artist, all in addition to being the teacher. We impact these kids lives every day.

We spend more time per week with the kids than their parents do, most of the time. So what we do now influences their decisions for the rest of their lives. But I love my job, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I do want to pull my hair out most days though. So here are some phrases that I hear way too often as a preschool teacher.

1. MISS SHELBY, HE HIT ME!

2. You can't be my best friend no more.

3. Stooooooop!

4. I'M TELLING!

5. "Miss Shelby!!!" x147

6. You can't come to my house.

7. You can't come to my birthday party.

8. I don't like you.

9. Hey watch this!

10. HE SPIT ON ME

11. ________ said I hit him, but I didn't but, he said I did.

25. Are you old?

26. Do you have a baby in your belly?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
