g. For the first time in my life, I do a job that I'm told I do well, and that I look forward to doing. Probably anyone I've talked to in the past few months knows that I invariably end up steering conversations on the direction of talking about either how much I love my students or what I want to teach them in next week's lesson, or today's class went.
Like all jobs, there are moments I don't look forward to teaching my students, especially when I deal with the bad ones, but once I get to class, there are such shining moments when I'm just sickeningly happy to be doing this every day
.And what I hope for most is that it will make a difference in their lives. Today I taught them about goal setting and critical thinking. One of them asked me what my goal was in coming here. I said, well I wanted to make a difference in the world, and they are among the group of people that is going to make the biggest impact in the world in the next few decades, as the educated members of a fast growing country.
