Several things define where I am from that preceded my
existence. I am from the fortunate
Jewish family my mom was adopted into. I am from the Northern Midwest which
permeates my passion for pond hockey, rolling terrain and huts built out of
snow banks. I am from the job site where one must love the smell of sawdust and
mature to adult status more rapidly than his peers.
When teaching, it is important to remember where you came from and how you bridged from past to present. Additionally, it is important to remember that no other person came from the same place, or followed the same route as you have. So as I conclude this stage of the process and step across the inherent dividing line between students and teachers, I remember where I came from. I remember the things that have shaped who I am. And I remember that every person came from a different place and requires different forms of attention to find success.
