Alive.

Sometimes you just know you picked the right path for your life. After every class I teach I feel that way. Last week a student stayed after class to tell me she really liked my class. This week another student stayed after class to tell me she really enjoys this class because of the discussions and how raw they get. I told her ethics is a hard topic and the only way we can learn from it is if we let go of what we think is always right by learning about others.   

When I teach I lose myself. It's the only two hours of a day where my mind doesn't think about anything else. I am in that moment. I'm giving the best gift I know how to give.  I feel alive. It's a beautiful thing to get lost in what you do and forget that it's even a job.   

I know that I'm finally where I need to be. And I've never been so certain. 

Even when the assignments are late.
