One of the most challenging things to do in life is teaching another person new skills. It takes knowledge, understanding, and patience beyond measure. I've never had much patience so needless to say today's instruction on how to make waffles went by excruciatingly slow. After countless number of "No! Don't do that!", "Wait, what did you just do?", and "That's too much!", We finally managed to successfully make enough waffles to eat breakfast. But the best part is knowing that you are teaching someone skills, tips, and tricks that they will use for the rest of their life. It also gives a sense of self satisfaction knowing that others look to you for guidance.
Becoming a teacher is not easy and not every has to the tools necessary to become one. But if you ever have the privilege to teach, it is one of the most rewarding experiences you'll ever have. In that moment when you see that flash understanding run across the face of your pupil, the biggest feeling of pride, accomplishment, and relief will settle over both of you creating a bond that will remain between you until the end of your lives.
Teaching tips for everyday of the year.
