Children who didn’t take ‘no’ for an answer made me a teacher
Many teachers feel a deep calling from within, knowing that they were born to be in front of a class. My case was different.
When my future students found me in the town square in Sayulita, Mexico I must have looked out of place among the artisans selling handmade macramé and silver jewelry, pipes, and tie-dyed beach wear. There I sat next to my blanket covered with small colorfully-glazed ceramic animals I’d made before moving to their small town.
