This last requirement was a videotaped lesson. Talk about stressful. It'd being phased out by the state and I can see why!!

Congratulations!
As for making a difference: When I taught 1st grade, it was easy to see. I taught at an inner city school in Dallas. I really enjoyed working with the kids. The majority came into school on the first day not knowing how to do anything! And to hear/see them reading and writing at the end of the year made me feel great.
With middle school and high school, I don't think you see the impact that you make quite so easily. I know I had secondary teachers who got me interested in certain subjects or books and they may not have even realized it. I think the impact we make is further down the road and a little bit quieter.
