I forgot the anticipation of walking into a classroom full of students.I forgot the electricity. I forgot the give-and-take. I forgot how it feels to see someone nod in understanding. I forgot how it feels to see someone frown and realize I could explain better. I forgot the satisfying feeling of covering a blackboard with scrawls.I forgot how it feels to laugh out loud in class at a student’s wit. I forgot how it feels to hear students erupt in laughter at something I said. I forgot how I enjoy sharing stories. I forgot the thrill of rediscovering a topic, along with 100 other people. I forgot how it feels to connect with each person in an audience of a hundred.I forgot how a student’s question makes me pause and think live. I forgot how a classroom makes me feel alive. I forgot the high of teaching in front of intelligent, curious students. I forgot the feeling of losing myself in front of a classroom. I forgot how much I love my job. To every student who was in my Reliable Distributed Systems class today, thank you.Thank you for making my day, thank you for reminding me of why I love my job, and thank you for making it such a joy to be back on campus.
我几乎忘记了走进满是学生的教室是怎样一种期待
我忘记了
我忘记了电学
我忘记了能量学
我几乎忘记了付出与收获
我忘记了时间是如何飞逝
我忘记了看到有人点头表示理解是什么感觉
我忘记了看到学生皱眉并意识到我需要详细地解释是什么感觉
我忘记了我在黑板上狂草的满足感
我忘记了我在课堂上被学生的机智逗得哈哈大笑的感觉
我忘记了听到学生对我说的话尖声大笑的感觉
我忘记了我是多么喜欢分享故事
我忘记了与一百个学生一起重新探索一个话题的快乐
我忘记了与一百个学生在课堂上建立联系的感觉
我忘记了一个学生的问题如何使我停下来重新思考
我忘记了教室如何让我感受到真实地活着
我忘记了在一群聪明、好学的学生面前讲课的挑战和高度
我忘记了在教室里忘却自我的感觉
我忘记了我是多么热爱我的工作
我几乎忘记了
感谢今天在我的 Reliable Distributed Systems(基于可靠性的分布式系统) 课堂上的每一位学生
感谢
感谢你们让我度过了快乐的一天
感谢你们让我重新想起我为什么热爱我的工作
感谢你们让重返校园如此快乐!
CIT(CUM的工程学院)有这么多真正热爱科学、乐于施教的老师,那真是CIT学生们的幸运!
孩子们有这样热爱事业的教授真是福气!太棒了 (家长的反馈)
