in a week i will have completed eighteen years of teaching. the first class i taught was on 'sir gawain and the green knight' back in 1995. i remember feeling at ease and loving what i did. i still feel relaxed in front of the students and i still love it. i guess many things have evolved in the meantime; some may have devolved, too. but here i am, ready to go on, hopefully with more excitement and with new insights. at times i had a lot of zeal, or love; sometimes i was filled with anger; sometimes utterly exhausted. but i've never ever been indifferent.
the photograph was taken in march 1999
you go on
ReplyDeleteyour lectures i loved the most
DeleteThanks Marija, thanks anonymous for your compliment :)
ReplyDeleteWe loved your lectures the most,I still remember your calmness,good will and great explanations so I don't doubt that you're one of the best teachers on the faculty as you were then in 1998..
ReplyDeletethank you sladjana :)
Deletei may have lost much of my calm since then, but that's the occupational hazard
You have been amazing. You have always been enthusiastic, but I've never seen you angry :) Stay always so wonderful as you are(although I know you will:)). You have really influenced all of your students. You held brilliant lectures. Congratulations! Wish you all the luck.
ReplyDeleteWarm greetings.
The best a teacher can hear is that he or she made a difference. Thank you!
