The Fall Semester has just started. The first 2.5 hour lecture was quite exhausting. After getting back to my office, I sat for an hour without getting up. Besides teaching, there are new programs to be designed for the 2012 transition to 334, papers to write, proposals to write, reports to write, students to guide, old projects to wrap up, new research to be done, consultancies to deliver, a book to finish, ...
Around me, however, some of the students are struggling against even bigger challenges. A student is having difficulties paying his school fees because of problems at home. Another is just coming out of a 2 month-long stint in hospital because of a rare and practically incurable disease. One student with emotional problems has to retake some challenging subjects. One is barely staying afloat after being threatened with de-registration by his university. One painfully shy boy and short on confidence is starting a pre-associate program. ...
I pray that they all overcome their own challenges in this term.
