About this book
Laugh, weep, be moved, challenged, and inspired, as you are taken on a journey of discovery. You might identify with the students – or relate to this teacher! Delve into her world, as she fulfils her childhood dream of becoming a wise and compassionate teacher. She considers teaching as the greatest privilege and responsibility. She taught her school subjects, but she also taught young people life skills: how to learn, laugh, live, love, forgive – and what really matters, in this short life we are gifted. She strongly believes that students need acceptance, and self-belief, in order to learn and to love learning – that they are worth her time, interest, and care. Her methods of engaging the interest of students were rarely traditional. But they worked! If students had difficulty, her calling as a teacher was to "find another way". Every time. You will be touched not only by her variety of classroom stories, but by her honesty, humour, wit, and insights, but you'll be hooked with her 'teaching' experiences as she travels with seven teenagers for three weeks in a foreign country. What could possibly go wrong? Enjoy.
