I teach because I love a good story! A good storyteller can always excite students about a topic. The noticeable exuberance displayed by a teacher can be infectious and spread through the room like a plague. It still surprises me when a student comes up to me years later and tells me that I got them hooked on history or technology. It’s nice to know that you made a difference in someone’s life, so few get the experience of being told it. I happen to be lucky enough to work with children, they share their feelings willingly.
