I fly from place to place.

From class to class, venue to venue.

I carry heavy luggage, often beyond my physical capabilities.

From the plane I view in silence great expanses of the world.

Life continues below me, I’m invisible above.

I reach my destination, the comfort of a hotel room, it’s
my home away from home.

Sometimes, I am anxious at staying with unknown people. Inevitably they become friends, but the experiences never diminish the initial anxiety.

I’m nervous but excited the night before a class.

I prepare well and face the class with great expectation.

My classes flow, the students succeed. I strive for perfection in my work and rarely have a problem. I enjoy being with my students and take pride in their success.

I love giving lectures/ presentations, the interaction with the audience is just like having a having a cuppa with friends.

There is camaraderie…
