I had a position for a time as a long-term substitute teacher at the high school in my local district, where unfortunately, many long-term subs, they'll earn the same amount of pay as I would, but they will oftentimes have this expectation of them that they can kind of babysit the students for that period of time. In this case, it was several months, almost the whole school year, and earn that pay for doing what they were expected. Some substitutes do try to do more, such as doing actual teaching, lesson planning, grading, all that stuff, and those substitute teachers are awesome. I went above and beyond because I really tried to make a lot of unique lesson plans, teaching them things that other teachers weren't even touching on, and really trying to like dig into the grammar of the Spanish language, which is what I was teaching, making sure that they understood the curriculum. I really cared about those students, went all in on behavioral management, encouragement, making sure that they were succeeding, trying to help them figure out what was going on with their parents, trying to figure out maybe if they had things going on in other classes. I was very strongly involved with these students, which as a substitute teacher is not necessarily outlined in what we're expected to do to earn our paycheck, but I really went all in because really enjoyed those students, and it was even said to me by multiple people numerous times that maybe I should become a teacher, but I was pretty happy where I was at at the time, making sure that they were doing well, but I really went above and beyond as a substitute teacher for those students because I really cared about who I was working with, and that tends to be my attitude wherever I end up at. I really care about who I work with, and I want to see them succeed, and that becomes my mission.
