Welcome to my worlds of words...
"Like unto flame beneath a fickle wind are words; with as little weight as a breath, they can still have a great and even disasterous effect if not contained just right. You may direct them, you may use and benefit from them but they are never yours. Just like smoke or breath, they are simply borrowed."
Education; whether you do it through teaching a new language or skill, through the story told in a novel, through a video, a social media post, or through example, should be a vessel that is never entirely full. Space must be left for the student to fill themselves.
Education is in everything and, to me, there is no greater joy than sharing knowledge and skills with others. As in the video above, it is my passion, that and words, languages, the means by which we order thoughts.
To educate well is not to teach someone how to repeat by rote or to parrot your experience and beliefs but to prepare a student to learn even more; a good educator is not an authority figure or monolith, a good educator is a map that shows those curious enough the way to go.
No two people learn the same way or are able to learn exactly the same things but every single one of us is curious, all you have to find is what exactly you are curious about and why, then the door is open.
