And that other guy...what's his name...Phelps (no! not Fred!),... Michael!...Michael Phelps, he's pretty wonderful too, as is the aptly named Sain Bolt.
As a low-level perfesser, I agree, though I have to work to remind myself of that sometimes. I look out at a lecture hall full of dull stares, and there are times when I just want to give up and go home and pull the sheets over my head. Then, I talk to some of them, and it can be very rewarding and instructive. In my moments of frustration, I try to remember how I felt when I was young. I also remember how much (a lot) that I have learned from my students.
I love the photo of Mr. Mitcham biting the gold. When I see this photo I see a little boy who's gotten exactly what he wanted on Christmas Morning. GOod on him! He makes it look so easy.

ReplyDeleteI think young people generally are pretty wonderful. Smart, kind, well behaved, no hang ups...
ReplyDeleteBut being a teacher's child I have heard nothing but prejudice about youngsters...
Stupid (you can see it in their eyes), un-teachable, don't want to learn anything - and so on.
I am not free from it yet.

My God, that picture during the dive! He looks like he's flying. He is a beautiful young falcon!
