"Things I learned not to do during [my first year of teaching]: Don’t yell at the students, because they will turn a deaf ear. Don’t engage in the rage when a student comes at you—just keep your cool and walk away. And don’t try to be perfect at everything. Work on one thing, complete it, and move on to the next task. Make it perfect next year. Things I learned to keep doing: Show them respect, because they deserve it. Show them compassion and love, because they may not always get it. Show them how to do everything step by step, because rushing through will only make everything go more slowly." — Spotlight: Susan Moreno (TX '19)
