I am

I am motivated and passionate

I wonder if my students will be engaged

I hear the ping of a student’s new found understanding

I see the waves of learning crashing on the shore of their brains

I am motivated and passionate

I pretend I am the conductor of the New York Symphony

I feel the bow of the cello – move across my strings

I touch the rainforest canopy to see the possibilities

I cry for the things I never said

I am motivated and passionate

I understand that learning a language can be difficult and frustrating

I believe that everyone, can learn, when shown the way

I dream about making a difference through my knowledge of English

I try to motivate, challenge, engage and enable success — every day

I hope that my students will feel, that I, made a difference

I am motivated and passionate
