It ain't easy

That's what I am finding out about teaching. It isn't easy. It isn't easy being the leader of a class. It isn't because I am teaching something new to someone, it is because I suddenly realize, how much people look to me for answers. Answers to a lot of questions that I was not prepared to have to answer. Nothing perosnal or odd, just...different. And please don't misundertsand me. My students are WONDERFUL and they're working so hard and doing a fantastic job. I love teaching. I was just not expecting some of the questions. I have answers for them most of the time, so I"m not caught off gaurd completely, but I didn't realize how much of a leader I became, when I becaume a teacher.

I realize that I miss being a student. I'm not going to quit teaching, not by any means, but I do miss being the sponge that I used to be, soaking up all the information that I could, as fast as could. Now, I feel like as I share that information, I need to go and soak up more. I should always be a student, and I will always be a student. I will always be learning new things about my dance that I can. Still, it would be nice to be able to TAKE a class right now. And there aren't any ways I could do that currently.

In other news, I finally ordered professional looking business cards. My homemade ones served me very well for a while, but I'm a professional. I want to look like a professional, not a hobbyist. I'm quite excited about them, they look like this.




I expect to see one in every wallet soon.

Oh and I saw that quote today. Shira posted it on her facebook and I happened to glance at it as I was planning my business card. It's so perfectly me :).
