Wink Exposure

I teach third grade and come in contact with of lot of colds, strep, etc. Since I am stage 4, I am always in treatment. I feel that my immune system is strengthened by the exposure I receive. It is similar to what happens to new parents with children who attend day care or preschool. The first year everyone is sick in the family, but eventually the parent's immune system is stronger. This also happens with first year teachers. They are often sick in during their first year of teaching.

I know we have to be careful, but I don't think it hurts to get out and live the lives we desire.

Best regards,
