In many ways, I feel towards my students as I do towards my own children.
I rejoice at their successes, not only in my classroom but
also on the playing fields. I feel sad and disappointed when
they do not meet expectations. I try to help them learn from all
experiences, good and bad. "There is a lot to learn from your
mistakes".
