I teach dance to children part-time, and as much as I love the children I teach, being with them always makes me miss my own children. Before I had children, my students were my children(so to speak). I thought about them constantly. They were the best and my most favorite children on the planet. Now that I am a mother of my own children, they occupy my thoughts constantly. They are the best and my most favorite children on the planet. Now, the children I teach outside the home are still special to me, but the more time I spend with them, the more I love my own children. Why is that? It is not because my students are not as wonderful as they used to be. They are all that wonderful and more. I think it is simply because my children are mine. Their wonderfulness surpasses any other wonderfulness because they are MY babies and I am their mommy. There is a bond unlike any other between a mommy and her babies. Motherhood is the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. It is hard, but worth it. It is frustrating, but enlightening. Every day holds new and uncharted territory and opportunities for growth. Every day brings it's own challenges, but the joys far out-weigh the challenges. I love my children. They are the most beautiful, joyful gifts I have ever received. I am very grateful for the opportunity of being a mother.
