I found yesterday's classes very satisfying. What happened in the classes
fulfilled every expectation I had. I had mentally prepared myself for an inspiring experience, and thus when the classes began,
I was fully expecting them to be harmonious and fruitful -- and they were. It
was like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because I was anticipating good things
happening, they happened. The classes were satisfying because they
fulfilled an abiding desire of mine to be involved in excellent teaching and
learning. I have many desires in life, but none greater than that. I yearn to
teach classes that are thoroughly stimulating and profoundly instructive, and
my classes today came close to meeting those criteria. They also answered a
essential need of mine. I don't just want to be a good teacher; I need to
be one. I need food and water to keep me alive, and I need teaching.
My heart beats, my blood courses along, I breathe in and out, and I
teach. At this point in my life, they all seem equally important to me.
Yesterday's superb classes were as beneficial for me as breathing in fresh
air.
