"You are what you choose to do now, not what you have done in the past." That is really integral to my teaching philosophy. This is what all of today's talk was about.
Another thing is the befriender vs. friend. I can see that this is going to be tough for me. But it is a line that is already very confusing.
Later today, I had a conversation with a Special Education major with an emphasis in DCD, and she was telling me that she just does not feel for those students (Students who are at risk). But I feel so much for them. I want to teach them and fix or attempt to fix the wrongs taht have been done to them. I recognize that that goal is borderline unachievable; but if a student sees one person continuing to try to fix the wrongs that have been done to them, regardless of success, they will feel that I really mean what I say when I say "You are what you choose to do now, not what you have done in the past."
