Rare Occasion

Once in a while I will come across brilliance, and all the years in teaching feels worthwhile.

Usually these are the final year projects that are sensible, Masters thesis that contributes to the body of knowledge, or students who are generally interested in the content. Not for the sake of passing, but in the quest for the knowledge. Hence, these folks come by once in a couple of years AND they remind me that its is worth doing what I am doing.

In the meantime, I will contend with the rest of my students who I will teach/ guide/ supervise to the best of my ability. Because I believe in equal chances, and everyone who passes through me gets the same opportunity as everybody else. Whether they use it or not, it is really up to them.
