My First Teaching Experience

I just finished my first lesson at Manosarovar school; teaching a poetry class.  I was very nervous at first, not being a teacher and never having taught a class before.  I was lucky enough, though, to have my Dad team-teaching with me.  It ended up flowing very well, and the students were so intrigued by what I was teaching.  

While explaining Haikus and Limericks, I remembered that this is the reason I am here, to feed these children's hunger for knowledge.  

The majority of what they learn is copied straight out of a textbook.  To encourage them to think for themselves and write their own poetry is confusing at first, but will hopefully get the wheels turning.  I can't wait to teach more lessons, because with such enthusiastic students, the teaching flows naturally.
