Day Eighteen: Enough Sharing Already!

So today I was talking to my fellow university students and we have all come to the same conclusion.  We are tired of sharing.  We are tired of having opinions.  We wish someone would just tell us what we need to know, and won't someone just talk at us for a while?  Tell us what you expect....give us an EXAM!! I know that I am tired of  being questioned about things I thought I 'knew'.  I DO know somethings and I AM WHO I AM! I have a certain personality and so it will affect my teaching.  I understand that.  But I am not willing to do a complete 360 and become something that I am uncomfortable with or false.  There are things I know for a certainty and that will not change.  Some things I am willing to work on, but do not keep pushing me to 'change' into some airy fairy new age teacher.  I won't and I will resist.  I like collaboration with others, but I will not do it all the time, I need my space.  I will have quiet periods in my class, I have a high sensitivity to constant noise and it overwhelms me.  Constant sound will result in a poor performance from me as a teacher.  I will make learning fun and relevant. I will follow the curriculum.  I won't be stepped on.  I will get along and address concerns, but I will not change my essential core of self.  You can bet on that.
