Why I Write...

While I was completing my master’s degree, one of the exercises that I had to do was to write an educational philosophy- a “why I want to teach”, as it were. I’ll be honest, it was obnoxious. I suppose because one would think that verbalizing why a particular passion, career path, etc. has been chosen would be easy; really, it’s not. In fact, it’s quite daunting trying to put a conviction into words and not have it come out sounding like complete bs or superficial nonsense.

However, like the Oracle in Greek mythology alludes, there is an importance in “knowing thyself”. It’s good to dig around in your own head every now and then, especially when it concerns those areas of your life that consume the most of your time and energy. If you don’t have a clear vision of your passion, how do you expect anyone else to?
