Educate

Everytime you walk into a class, and you're standing in front, you're presented an opportunity to spread certain ideas and change the world. No other job in the world gives you this opportunity.
Sure it's not easy. Kids come in late, get rowdy, throw verbal tomatoes at you. But that's no excuse for you to not give a shit.
Set ground rules. Speak confidently. Smile. Use a microphone, we won't laugh. Engage the kids. Interact. Build Rapport. Set challenges. Inspire. Do it well, because it is agonising when you read off the slides and no one can hear you. Do it well, because although they might not show it then, they'll appreciate you in time.
Do it well, because although the kids might not remember your ideas, they'll remember your lessons forever.
