Teaching in a refugee camp, I’m quickly learning that my job entails more than just traditional classroom responsibilities.
One of the extras included directing a play to be performed for several hundred people at graduation. I lamented that my sister is not here, who works professionally for theaters. The Vice-Principal told me firmly, “It’s good she’s not here. Now you can learn.”
It's a good motto. I'm realizing that I dread doing practical things. I often wish someone more competent, resourceful, or tougher was here to do the stuff that needs to be done. But now I can learn.
