Our Role In Education...

Today, I met a new generation of my students, radiant and raw, each arriving with stories waiting to be told, dreams trembling just beneath the surface.

They come from corners of the world carrying their hearts in suitcases and their courage tucked inside uncertainty. Many are only eighteen, bravely stepping into a world unknown.

And in their presence,I learn. Over and over again.

My Students, My Teachers

I've often asked myself —What is my place in their unfolding?

As a teacher, mother, woman, I’ve sat with these questions in quiet hours. And I’ve come to understand that my role is not to instruct, but to facilitate. To create a space where they can meet themselves —fully, wildly, tenderly.

To stand beside them in the storms of becoming,and whisper:"You are not alone."

True Education

True education lives beyond assignments and deadlines. It thrives in the silent moments between words, in the soulful risk of creativity, in the tender awakening of self.

Mark Twain said,"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." I carry this as a compass, and pass it on —to every heart that walks into my classroom.

I will keep reminding my students and myself that our learning, discovering ourselves and understanding nuances of our being go far beyond classrooms, assignments briefs, and schools projects...
