Well said about that, Miriam and LaFanya. I believe that in teaching Mathematics, I live for the present and perform the best I can do to satisfy the students and the school which are both important stakeholders and let the future measure whether my effort outside the classtime had a positive effect on the students' performance and behavior towards my class. There were times when intrinsic rewards of feeling appreciated by the students and the school sustain our perseverance and dedication to teaching.
