Teacher by Association

When I was at home this weekend, I ran into an acquaintance from college at church.  Attempting to make small talk, I asked how school was going-knowing that she was still in school. In turn she asked me what grade I was teaching now and how I was liking it. I then awkwardly had to respond saying, I actually got my degree in Communication Studies. This got me to thinking...EVERYONE (almost everyone) I know is a teacher. I've thought about this before, but seriously, I am surrounded by educators. There's nothing wrong with that except that people think that I too am a teacher. I did consider it at one point, but it was not in the cards for me. So, maybe next time I will play along and talk about my pretend classroom, or maybe I will someday go back to school. Who knows.
