After And What?

 After And What?

When you were a kid, you waited forever for your favorite day. As you age, so do the days. That day seems to appear faster and sooner each year. One day, all of your days will start to blend without you being able to distinguish one day from another.

Each day is a special gift that the world has given you. Perhaps since we are given this gift, we should find ways to share our gifts with others. The world is full of people with so many talents. Imagine helping each other out when we need a helping hand. The world could be a marvelous rejuvenating hub for creativity, exploration, and learning.

Instead of asking what the world should give us, we should ask what we can do to make the world a better place. We are only on this mortal coil for a short time. Once you are gone, people who remember you as a positive and helpful individual, what a great way to be remembered. 

So go out and make the world a better place. Do not wait for a phone call. You make the phone call. And even if that phone call is difficult, you have the strength to make it happen. Believe in the process, and you can achieve your goals.

 Have Fun Throughout Your Life 

When you were a kid, you had fun. As the years passed, you had less fun. Then you are an adult, and the fun is gone. This does not have to be the case. You can have fun your entire life. 

Life gets busier as you age. As a child, your responsibilities are few. Each year, increasing levels of responsibility become part of your life. And finally, when you are grown, you have more responsibilities than fun. 

However, special individuals who have aged, handle responsibilities, and enjoy fun in their lives exist. To become one of these exclusive members, you must remember the joy of inquiry and exploring new experiences and adventures. You must be willing to step out of society's conformity and think outside the parameters of existing dogma.

Life goes by very quickly. Enjoy the ride. Find opportunities for fun and excitement. Remember the fun activities you did as a child, and perhaps relearn some of those skills. Exercising, hiking, playing an instrument, acting, dancing, and many more give you so much joy as a child. Do not be afraid to rekindle a former hobby to your happiness.

And once you find time for fun in your maturity, make sure you nurture it. Take lessons, travel to places beyond your comfort zone, and seek out conversations with everyone you run into. Learning from the world will increase your opportunities to explore and have fun. Also, do not be afraid to learn a new activity from those you know. You have friends for a reason. Part of friendship is learning from one another. So go out there and have as much fun as you can!

Why It Is So Hard To Be A Teacher?

 Why It Is So Hard To Be A Teacher?

Teaching is a great job for many. It is a calling. You have to want to be a teacher. Few teachers are in the field for a paycheck. It is a passion that calls you to dream, think, and live the role of an educator. Time and time again, you are figuring out ways to teach a topic your students do not quite understand. That is the amazing part of being a teacher. This is why those who love teaching teach.

However, as the world knows, teaching is also challenging. Long hours with low pay lead to teacher burnout and apathy. Young teachers, full of energy, often leave the field after a few years. Many new teachers quit after the first year, and more leave after five years in the teaching profession. This high turnover showcases the challenging aspects of a public school teacher.

When you see a young person playing a video game with all this passion and focus, imagine that same intensity being utilized in a classroom. Think of all the subjects they could learn and become skilled at if they had the same drive with their studies as entertainment. Perhaps the key to improving public school education is allowing students to select their educational journey. One reason why YouTube is so popular is that you can pick what you want to watch when you want to watch it. This could be incorporated into public school education. Offering diverse subjects for all students to find an area where they can thrive. When a student is busy working on a project that they are passionate about, discipline problems disappear, and students cannot wait to attend school. Imagine students begging to go to school because they cannot wait to learn the subjects they are passionate about. Imagine teachers dreading summer vacation because our students want to learn so passionately. Today, with all the technology available, many of these solutions could be incorporated into public schools.

Can public schools become bastions of inquiry, creativity, and learning? Schools could transform into institutions that young people would request to remain open during holidays and weekends. Instead of forcing students to learn subjects, they could be free to pick areas they are passionate about and flourish. Educators, you can dream big for your students and yourself. Teaching can become a job so desired that there will be a surplus of teachers for every position. Today is the day to take responsibility and improve education for all students and teachers.

One Cycle

 One Cycle 

Every year, one can reflect on the previous year. Various events happen annually. Some are perceived as positive, and others as negative. Regardless of your perception, events will continue to happen throughout your life. How you react and consider these events helps make you who you are.

Each person has to live with their choices and decisions throughout their life. How you treat others is also how you treat yourself. What you think and what people will say about you once you expire are considered by many and not by others. When you look into the mirror, can you smile or frown at your actions?

Life is a wondrous, amazing gift, with experiences full of wonderment and excitement for the next adventure. The first time you explore a new area of the world, get a tasty treat, or meet amazing people you will be friends with for your life are common experiences. If you live long enough, you will have many experiences to reflect upon.

The best advice is to live life being kind and helpful to others. Make someone's life easier. Give a smile to a stranger. Help somebody when you can. Inspire those who long for inspiration. Be the example that gives others hope. When you go home and look in the mirror inside, there will be a smile so big that it will fill your heart with joy and fulfillment. That is your gift to humanity.
