Happy teachers' day! This year more than any year previously I think I've been incredibly blessed to get amazing amazing teachers-- each of them has touched me in small ways, some more than others. I'm not sure why the topic of where the line is between teachers and students lie keeps coming up lately, but I believe there's nothing wrong with a more personal relationship between the two if it doesn't interfere with the passing down of knowledge. Beyond academia, it's quite amazing to have gotten to know a few of the teachers I have this year-- I believe this connection is more than a shallow or forced bond, and our teachers have come to mean so much. Perhaps its the release that sec four brings from responsibilities and obligations that lets us see our teachers as more than just authority figures, the knowledge that we're leaving soon anyway, but this year has let me see my teachers as more than just teachers. Everything aside, teaching is such a noble and underrated profession-- how do the best teachers get invested in their students year after year to let them go and watch them create their stories? rather amazing, thank you so much teachers.
was reading some of my old blog posts and I think some of the joy in blogging lies in seeing how much I've changed, and in particular looking back at the episodes that were so significant then that I barely remember now.
