I still regret that I never explored the path out back of my apartment block those many years ago...<br /><br />You will definitely find that your students are very patient and eager to learn. After all, they are the lucky ones who got into secondary school by one means or another. Probably 80-90% of the kids don't make it, and find themselves out on the street.

Lots of responsibility, eh?<br /><br />BUT don't be so dedicated to your job that you skip exploring, travelling, listening to the mermaids sing, and other fun stuff. It's a balancing act!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035991682080164439noreply@blogger.com
