I am a teacher, and I live in a nation

If I thought, after 10 years of teaching, I'd sleep back in the [national] van, would I do that?

I have two sacks for sleeping, two sheets, a kebe [a blanket] and a fur hat, but I'm happy. I am happy to go to work at 7: 00 a.m. and work until half past 8 p.m., eat in the school barn, bathe, and be in her bathrooms. I enjoy this routine. I'm the first to arrive at school right after the cleaners, and the last one out of it. It works because it does.

My family home is 100 kilometers from school. He has 90 minutes of road and a big national park in between. The long journey was never sound, and the house has no wheels to move, so the nation came to my aid. At first, I thought that this is how I would do it for just a while. I thought I'd find a different job, somewhere closer to home, but for Christmas, without a stable alternative, I signed the new contract.

This is not the only school I've worked for, but it's the only school I'd live for; away from my wife, family, and home comfort.

For the uncomfortable comfort of the nation, for loneliness and adventure. ”

For six years I enjoyed seeing how my work had great effect. For six years I made a significant impact on my children under my care. I joke sometimes saying we save lives. But it's true.

When I got married, I went to stun heights - a new school near my home. It was a disaster. Work options dropped from amazing to an improvement required. It was very stressful. The last effort gave me the necessary blow. I felt that he was an outstanding lesson to me.

Teaching children there was not something for me. I had neither self - confidence nor love for teaching. The sharing gift was a description of medicine.

So after a year I returned to the school I loved, to my friendly faces, to my warm hearts, and to my students - the foundations of a good school, the foundations of a life span and success.

Here, we can explore and explore. The lectures show the way for reflections on the real world. The third lesson, boys see that Sikker [Shakesper] laughs at the way young boys see women, that Mercutio [Mercutio] is a bad creature and not happy, that Romeo is a big mistake. Students see these themselves.

There are many challenges in my mobile hotel where I live alone. When nights become cold, each port was increasingly lonely.

And I've promised to stay in that same school next year, no matter what.

Students ask me, will we have you here next year, sir?

I tell you: I have an interview. Let's see.
