Thank you for a delightful read.
I think at 10 life is full of so much excitement and I can't imagine a teacher wanting a 'real' answer. I think the question raises all the questions you have asked yourself and I imagine you have had many conversations and that is stimulating.
Your story is priceless.........from medicine to music.............beautiful.
I only became a teacher when a lecturer at university told me that he saw the 'gift' in me and I recognised the truth of it. It became a fulfilling career.
thank you for an interesting post.
