Hi Melissa,
Your writing reminded me of my own experiences. I was a university faculty member for a couple of years, was a piano teacher for kids, and now I am a seasoned lecturer (as I am no longer in education). The teaching experiences really enriched my life in a different way. Seeing the progress of a to be succesfull students, buddying students, learning/deepening new topics, etc are only small things I got. Yes you are right on what you put in your writing :) .
