another mundane day
on 6/2/09 i took baby steps on this other little adventure of my life. i took 6 students through their first rockclimbing lesson. i'll be taking them over the span of a year. eagerly anticipating the session i was. will i screw up? make a bad first impression? (the gold hair doesnt help my cause a lot; neither does my heck-care attitude towards espousing politically correct notions)
the mind of a child has so much potential. there is much wisdom to be gleaned just from observing their actions or their speech. i have so much to offer, so much to share. yet there is so little time. this quandary i face all the time. perhaps sometimes it's wiser to just let them do the talking.
how to ignite their interest? how to let them experience the same exuberance? how will i shape their lives? this responsibility i'm proud to undertake.
let's hope it all turns out well.

ReplyDeleteLead and teach by example. Let the young ones interpret the wonders of climbing on their own. I hope there're no little girls among the 6. Their lives are in great danger.

@jensen: nah i hold no love for young and physically undeveloped species of the opposite gender of the homo sapiens. i prefer the grown up varieties for various reasons.
