Very often I am told I would make a good teacher. I love being around kids and youth and feel an instinctive compulsion to avail them of all the knowledge I possess. I understand what other people see when they look at me in the company of my younger fellow human beings, a bright eyed, energetic, engaging young man who talks to his younger kin with excitement, interest and respect. I understand because that is exactly how I feel. I see my younger self when I look at young ones and I feel the sympathetic eagerness and zeal that pulsed ever so strongly in me during my childhood and youth. Now, as an adult, I want to be the man who inspires youth, the man who I wish had been there to inspire me. An adult brimming over with vitality and vigour and zest for life. YEAGH!!! sigh. if only i could be that way in our current education system...a monolith of stagnancy and antiquated notions of humans needing an environment of didactic discipline and regulation to enable any sort of productivity.
