I Have Great Students

They're wonderful. They like to play taiko, and they play it well. It helps me as a teacher to work with people who are so nice and enthusiastic. They give me great confidence. Before I started teaching I had a whole year to think and worry about being a teacher, and I hope I'm the teacher I want to be. I hope I can become something remotely like the teachers who have inspired and encouraged me. Having great students helps immensely.
