What Do You Teach?

At a gathering last week, someone asked, "What do you do?"

"I'm an assistant principal at Monticello High School."

After a couple of minutes discussing my current position, she asked, "So what did you teach?"

"Students." 

Recognizing that my response came across as flippant, I explained, "It's always about the kids. The subjects were social studies, reading and some academic skills, but it was never about that. It's about helping students learn about themselves. Hopefully, they left my class every day a better person because of me." 

I then asked her--and I ask you to do the same--Think of her favorite teacher. Was he/she your favorite because of the subject or because of how he/she taught you?

This question really made me pause and reflect not just on what I teach, but why. As someone who once struggled deeply during my nursing studies, I now focus on teaching compassion and resilience, not just theory. I remember a time when I was completely overwhelmed juggling night shifts, coursework, and the emotional weight of clinical practice. That’s when I came across an online Nursing Assignment Writing Service, and it honestly changed my entire academic experience. It wasn’t just about getting an assignment done it was about finally having the space to learn, breathe, and not break down under pressure. Today, I guide others not just with lessons, but with the empathy I gained through those tough times. Sometimes, the best teaching comes from what we’ve survived.
