This is one debt I hope I never finish paying off.

When I started as a trainee teacher in 2014, I constantly told myself that I owed my students a debt due to my inexperience. They could have learned more if they had a more experienced teacher and this pushed me to pay off my debt by putting in my all from running around during activities with a sprained ankle to spending 11 hours on a weekend coaching students. Even now when I am reassured by my colleagues that I am doing fine, I still feel that I owe my students something. This reminds me how big an impact I am on their lives and how I cannot give anything less than my best. This is one debt I hope I never finish paying off.
