Why do I want to stay a teacher?...because... as a teacher, you have the chance of being part, in a subtle but important way, to the ''transformations of the world“. The constant effort of ''coming out of yourself'' keeps you fresh and in close contact with yourself. Relating with the young transfers enthusiasm and joy of living. You can become a role model, which would mean lots to anybody. You can help form characters. Finally, the inconvenience of being under the 'magnifying glass' of very straightforward and critical youth can give the priviledge of being careful at what you are, in order to moderate what they will become. You feel a great responsibility, which continually transforms you. How many other jobs can offer this today, when mankind, in the rush for having and doing, has become more shallow? (Elena Pascali)
Would I be going back to teaching? Who knows? Maybe.
