My First Lesson

My class was a little rowdy, but I prefer it like that.
It makes interactions somewhat easier.
I would like to be perceived as friendly and approachable.
So this was a perfect class for me.

I memorized all the students' names before entering the class.
I felt that it was important.
Afterall they are humans and not machines that I use to tinker around with.
Some of them noticed it, and gave a quiet smile of appreciation.
It was worth the effort.

I started off the class talking not about the subject matter,
but about LIFE.
And made it clear that they can forgot about
what I am going to teach them about engineering drawing,
but they must never forget what I have to tell them.

I told them that in LIFE, it is important to love what you do.
and pursue it with passion and sweat.
Because when you love what you do,
It does not become a job, it's a hobby.
You would be good at it naturally.
You would be in line with what you were born to do.
You would be HAPPY
And life is just too short not to be happy.

I hope they remember it. because its true.

I Love being an Engineer.
I Love teaching.

This place is perfect.
