BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

September! The party is over!

 

Summer is coming to an end and it is time to warm up for the coming school year. No more parties, no more barbecues, sunbathing  or swims at the beach...
 

We slowly go back to our daily routines. Holidays were an excellent break after a long school year to recharge our batteries and become stonger so as to face new challenges. Now going back to our daily routines is a good opportunity to slow down and be ready for higher hurdles in our careers. It will be easier for those who have not completely stopped during the summer holidays, but it will not be impossible for the rest.

  3. In my opinion, holidays are important because we can relax and enjoy our free time. However, going back to school can be difficult after a long break. I think it is important to start slowly and get used to the routine again.

  4. ROUTINES
    Carlos Alcaraz gets up early and does exercise every day at the gym, and Rafa Nadal gets up late and goes for a walk.

  5. Summer is great, but things tend to get more complicated when September rolls around and you have to get back on track with school—like going to bed early or not hanging out with friends every single day. It’s hard for all of us to adjust to the routine after the summer.

  6. Summer is very nice, but September is difficult because we have to go back to school. We have to wake up early and go to bed early. We can’t spend all day with our friends. It is difficult to go back to school after the summer holidays. I think many students feel the same.
