"The educator is the man who makes difficult things look easy ."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have had several jobs in my life, some I liked more, others less and others not at all. There is everything in life, you learn from everything and they are necessary experiences to grow.
But thinking about which of them was my favourite involves many things.
I believe that there is no perfect work, because perfection does not exist, at least in this earthly world.
Each one had its details, its pros and cons.
Then I thought, which of all of them gave me the most satisfaction in life. And the answer is teaching. Teaching others what I know.
That has included giving computer classes as well as painting classes.
But the detail that made that job special, was not only to make known what I knew, but that my students were older people, people who perhaps didn't have a good memory or comprehension and who needed to be taught with a lot of patience.
I think patience is cultivated every day, exercised and learned.
I have been enriched by the experiences of these people. Many of them were at the end of their lives and they told me their experiences, past stories and in the middle of the classes they could talk about everything and I was the one who listened to them.
Many were alone, or with people around them, but they didn't pay attention to them.
I was very sad to know that many of them were forgotten by their families. They told me: my children are very busy. ....
I learned a lot from them, I think I learned more than they did. They are the living experience.
Many of my female students said to me: I love you like a daughter. Tears were inevitable.
With some of them, after almost 6 years, I send messages, some of them good morning, good evening or other.
Others have left this plane and with others I have lost contact. But I carry their stories with me.
Sometimes they send me messages saying, I have forgotten everything you taught me because I have not practised it anymore, but I remember our talks, the mates, and your sweet words. They still call me teacher.
That has been my favourite job because it has been the one that has given me the most satisfaction and from which I have learned the most. There were many years of teaching, and my soul will always love teaching, I think I was born that way.
What I always valued most in my students was that at that age, 60, 70 and 80, they wanted to learn something new. I always admired them and they know it.
Searching and searching I found some photographs of the classroom where I taught computer classes, when I was just starting out and it was set up for that and some photographs of the painting classes. I didn't use to take many pictures back then, but here they are.
As always 
Big greetings to all and I wish you all a fabulous weekend.
Amonet.
