What Teachers Make
As an (future) educator, if you've never heard of Taylor Mali, or even if you have, enjoy! Mali is an advocate of teachers and of the profession, as he himself spent nine years in the classroom. He is also one of the most well known poets who has come up through the slam poetry movement. His words are uplifting, reassuring, and make me smile.
I am graduate student at MSU finishing my last semester of my MAT in Biological Sciences. I work as an urban educator teaching Biology and Anatomy and Physiology in Newark, New Jersey.
"You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it"-Aristotle (located central, next to Plato in blue, holding his book of "Ethics")
