Volunteers sign up to go into a classroom for a variety of reasons: impress a boss, child's classroom needs a volunteer, get out of work, always wanted to teach, and other personal reasons...but then they get THE BUG!
THE BUG is the feeling that you have when you walk into the classroom and se
e the excitement on the students' faces, the feeling that you have when you can actually see their minds whirling to find a solution, the feeling you have when they find the solution, and the feeling you have when you walk out that door promising to return next week. That is THE BUG...and there is nothing better.
