They say turkey makes you tired , but I found myself hyperactive last year . I wonder why . <| sep |> I feel your pain . Amazon would ' ve been nice due to Prime but can ' t complain since I managed to get one . P <| sep |> It is what you make it . Not everyone is going to be interested in your material but hey , you can try your best to make it as interesting and relevant as possible . You will catch some kids offguard and hey , if you can get them interested in your subject , then awesome ! I never liked history until I got to 10 th and 11 th grade . I had great history teachers 10 th and 11 th , and I love it now . I don ' t teach history , but I have a great history background because I had some good teachers . You will make a difference in a most of your kids , whether they show it or not . Some will show you directly they ' ll come by , say hi , bother you , etc . Some will love your class and love the things you ' re doing , but never tell you . If you think high schoolers are too bored with your lessons come to the dark side aka middle school . If you can match their energy and figure them out , middle school is a way more interesting place to teach
