I’ve often explained to my student’s that, “at some point in life you will have to decide if you will just make money or you will make a difference”. I made that choice when I chose teaching over the world of high finance. For me, teaching science is only a tool to get me in the door, what I really hope to teach student are the lesson of life that are far more important than any science lesson. The idea of, “Enrollment” is one of those life lessons. I love how the author put it, in his ended statement of the chapter, when he refers to Enrollment as lighting a spark from person to person, scattering light in all directions. This for me is what teaching offers, a chance to light spark in the future generation. Just this pass Friday, I was speaking to a group of students is one of my classes about the fact that so many of their classmates seem to have this attitude of indifference. This is one of the greatest challenges facing this current generation. So many students don’t have a spark for anything. This is what makes the idea of Enrollment such an important idea we must help this generation to check the sparks that will become the future issue that they will choose to stand for. I believe this is the most important job that any teacher can do.
