I am a teacher, and, yet, a constant student.
1. How is it possible to be approachable to students yet not let them get to the point of thinking you’re their peer and, therefore, subject to their ridicule?
2. There are some moments when I just can’t keep my mouth shut. I know I should just let things slide by, but yet part of me wants my opinion known. I somehow can’t be one of those eloquent speakers, and, perhaps, like my sister, I wear my emotions on my sleeve way too much?
3. When I get pushed into a corner, I typically get very quiet & contemplative.
4. I’m finding that more often than not, no one is ever completely right or completely wrong. Today, when something was pointed out to me that someone considered “wrong”… I was able to justify a tiny piece of it in my head. I’m sure everyone does that. “Well, yea, but…”
5. No one lives in a bubble. We all affect each other in some way.

You have a style that’s all your own, a certain rythm, like an octave not everyone can hear . They either get you or they don’t and for those that don’t, fuck ‘em, you’re the teacher.
