Sometimes students just slaughter. A student handed in an essay on the nature of an exile’s experience that is so true, so profound, and speaks so deeply to who I am as a human being that I’m almost in tears.
He’s doing this in a foreign language, mind you.
Yes. I agree. I love research but teaching brings me a very particular type of joy. My life would be less rich if I didn’t teach. Yay for wonderful students! 🙂
