Teaching -- and Learning. These are my loves of day three. And they so go together.
I love teaching. I love seeing the light go on in the eyes of a student. I love finding different ways of teaching that make a topic meaningful. I love making school subjects approachable and inviting. I love researching a topic and finding better ways to teach. I love igniting sparks and sharing my enthusiasm.
I loved going to school and learning new things. I love reading. I learn something every time I pick up a book. I love the things I learn as I study topics I am preparing to teach. I love being involved in a classroom discussion and having the students make comments that teach me.
They both are so rewarding. I just . . . LOVE it!
And you're a darn good one too! There really is nothing like seeing the light click on when a student gets it. I'm so proud of you for going back to school and getting your degree. You are an inspiration to me, sister-friend.
ReplyDeleteWere we separated at birth? I share your first three loves. I'm anxious to see what it will be tomorrow. You're awesome. Can't wait to hang out in April.
ReplyDeleteI love classes, too. Not so much the tests and homework. But I would sure love to be in a literature or European history class.
