I like kids. Or rather, I like the idea of liking kids. I'm afraid that when thrust into the teaching situation, I won't know what to do, and that I'll fail. I don't want to fail at this. But I won't know until I try.

I want to gain their trust. I want to be able to inspire them, to show them the beauty of the country and the world outside gadgets. I want them to play. I want them to to care. I want them to be kids.

I want to show them clear night skies; I want to show them the stars and the planets and the moon up close. I want them to hike up mountains, to feel the wind on their cheeks once on top. I want them to go underwater, and appreciate the marine life that hugs the country. I want them to be able to swim with confidence. I want to show them beauty, so much beauty that will inspire them to maintain it, or better yet, improve it. I want them to realize how connected we all are.

I want to show them good manners. I want them to be able to say, "please" and "thank you". I want them to learn how to listen. I want them to be respectful of everyone. 

I want to show them that they are loved. I want them to love back.
