So most people probably don't know about me is that I've been in training to become a fully qualified teacher and i stopped and thought about what that ment to me today and to me it means helping others learn something new. It doesn't matter if they are young or old if I can teach them something new then I have done my job. If the kid I just showed a cool robot to gets all excited and runs of and tells their parents that they want learn more about that stuff then makes all the time spent teaching them all the worthwhile and means the world to me knowing that I was able to pass on what I know and to see the smiles on their faces is the greatest feeling in the world. But it also made think about how most teachers I had at school told me I would never be anything. What they never saw was me on the football field, at the basketball stadium or on the cricket pitch and if they had they would have seen that I worked my arse of because I loved playing sport. You can't sit a kid down in a maths test an call him an idiot because he failed it. If they don't love something then they are going to fail at something and that's fine. But I'll never tell someone that they can't accomplish something. I refuse to be like the teachers I had growing up.

@phianixx that's just how most teachers were like at schools I went to. Admittedly I did clown around a lot but that was just who I was and because of that I was told I wouldn't achieve anything with my life. I made a promise to my self when I first started that I would never become like them ❤

I'm really glad you did, nobody has to follow the crowd - and a positive mindset is a way more respectful way of treating others. I'm all for it!!
