Last year, for a nationwide teacher conference, I was asked to make a presentation about my classroom. I immediately to offer to the conference photo collections and mementos （纪念物）that would prove how meaningful teachers’ work was in the world of classroom.
So, for weeks, I looked the drawers, boxes, and cupboard, hoping to find just the right prints that would tell of the spirit of my school and my community. All through September, I sought photos of lessons activties and accounts I had put away in my house. I asked my colleagues to help me find images or objects that would our most famous community members. By mid-October, I had made a list of them. But, I had also found something , something much more dear, and very rare.
I found photos of Craig, a high school senior, who gave up two weeks one summer to help little kids draw pictures at a camp. I found notes from Calvin whom I had taught for almost six years, and remembered how he always made sure every classmate felt accepted. I found a resume written by Carrie who herself without the help of parents, and who took night class, and never one. I found a copy of Macbeth in Portuguese, which belonged to an exchange student who read it first in her own , before reading it in ours. Thus she could be sure she wasn’t missing anything important in the . I found all my students, the students who had made me laugh, the students who had me with their courage and kindness, the students who had me to question what I knew of the world outside my own world, the students who had inspired me to expect more from them and from myself.
There I was, standing at my filing cupboard reviewing —not those I had taught, but the many I had learned.
I came to teaching, most teachers do, hoping to touch the hearts and minds of my students. What I never expected was how they would touch mine.
Today I walk through the door of my classroom ready to teach, but also to learn from the young people who are excited to teach me about them —their insights and interests, problems and anxieties, hopes and expectations.
