Odd Jobs Hopping

Its been almost two years since my last traditional full-time job. Meaning, I have not been on the 15th, 30th day payroll for quite a while. And what a roller-coaster ride it is. I learned so many things. Savored life more. And am continuing to discover a lot of things an 8-5 job in the classroom prevented me from doing so. I do want to return to my teaching. And I am still figuring out where and when. Obviously, its when I finish my masters, which is hopefully soon.

I just realize that teaching is more than knowing the how to's but more importantly, imparting yourself to your students. And therefore, the teacher should have a lot of wonderful experiences in life to share. Anybody can easily learn how to teach reading, arithmetic or penmanship. But what about the zest for life? What about the desire to innately learn or the curiosity for things unknown? I believe these tools are necessary in helping us become more actualized human beings. And therefore, become more useful and productive members of the community.

It is the passion for discovery alongside discipline that would create champions.
And you cannot just teach that. You have to impart it. Meaning, you ought to be overflowing with to the brim so that your students will naturally catch it.
Perhaps I should create a new folder here. Yes. I think I will call it Teacher Chronicles.And why not.

So when was the last time you did something for the first time? Its the tagline of an airline,the name of which escapes me right now.

And dear reader, you ought to ask yourself that.

Its faith you know. Its living life to the fullest. He came that we may have life, and life to the fullest.

Have a great life!
