I Am What I Learn

"Passion is something that sticks with you throughout your entire life." As teachers, it is important for us to give opportunities for students to find their passions. The young student in this video wouldn't have found out his love for movie making had he not been exposed to the programs and ideas. Now, he feels there is an escape out of his tough situation into a better life. Although a teacher may have introduced him to film making, he does say that 'you can have the greatest teacher in the world,' but if you're not willing to try to learn, then it won't do any good. By creating a classroom environment with lots of exploratory options for students to find their passions, teachers can help students make the difference in their own lives. We-teachers- are the facilitators to the great power that lies within each student we will ever have.
