Students
It is always heartwarming to see your students go to places, either writing or performing, sharing or creating, basically just reaching their dreams, living the life, and doing things that make them happy. I was a full-time lecturer from 2008 till 2015. It was during these years that I gained sisters and brothers, daughters and sons, more than I could handle to be honest. To this day, they still send me letters, visit me at home, bring me out for tea, and text me almost daily. I am more of a learner than a teacher, maybe that's why they turn to me for a listener - I'm not sure. Anyhow, my kids are amazing. And they're capable of doing amazing things. I want them to know that because I think they don't know it enough.
