Becoming a teacher isn’t as simple as going to college and taking the right courses. It isn’t as easy as standing up in front of a group of learners and saying the right things. It isn’t enough to know your subject and be passionate about it.
Becoming a teacher–one who make a difference in children’s lives–is a lifelong endeavor to be the best you can be, to understand yourself, to understand the people you are working with, to think and reflect and wonder and ask questions constantly, and to almost always work harder than any other friend you have in any other profession. Becoming a teacher is a lifelong endeavor to connect… to communicate… to encourage… to support… to challenge set ways of thinking… to scaffold learners to become smarter, more efficient and effective at learning in every way they can–while you, yourself, are doing the same.

“The point of its being a world that isn’t here is in being able to rewrite the past of the world that is here,” Tengo said.
“So you can rewrite the past any way you like, as much as you like?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you want to rewrite the past?”
Don’t you want to rewrite the past?”
She shook her head. “No, I don’t have the slightest desire to rewrite the past or history or whatever. WhatI’d like to rewrite is the present, here and now.”
But if you rewrote the past, obviously, the present would change, too. What we call the present is given shape by an accumlation of the past.”
She released another deep sigh. … “I can only say one thing. You used to be a math prodigy and a judo belt holder and you’re even writing a long novel. In spite of all that, you don’t understand anything at all about this world. Not one thing.”
-Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams
But that magic feeling never seems to last
And while the future’s there for anyone to change, still you know it’s seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past-Jackson Browne
