This was a great read because, I'm someone who never really thought I'd be wanting to teach. I've sort of been a teacher my whole life in a way. In my parents tae kwon do business I was 8 years old and a high green belt teaching a whole class of people up to 30 and 40 years old. I had to step into that teacher role. Not be childish when my parents needed someone to teach the low belt class. Then in high school I thought, "shoot me if I ever have to deal with these kids or a kid like me." Now, I'm like, "I can handle this." I never thought after a panel talk on cryptocurrency, diversity and fintech I'd be asked to come in and do saturdays with minority students learning to code at a local university. Every time I thought about teaching, I focused on the worst worst aspects. Plus, I never liked trying to quanitify something that can't be quanitifed. Seriously, all the tests I've taken in school are useless to me in a way. I got lots of F's because I never cared. Perhaps, this is why helping kids in coding is better for me. I can't teach something in my opinion that doesn't have an immediate application. Your article will really stick with me. Maybe teaching kids and cryptos and coding won't be their life's goal, but I want to make it an important experience in their life they will reflect on. Oh, and if you're able to, check out my introduction. Thanks for reading this if you did.
