A happy and proud teacher!
I just heard my student was picked into Finnish two person team for the international Philosophy Olympiads for youth! There was a half a year's extensive training period where they (the ministry of education philosophy board) had picked something like ten best from an essay-contest that was held last autumn and she got through that!
Cool! *add any positive superlative here*
I know she's talented, intelligent and has spirit but it really made my day to hear the news.
And btw. that means I'm going to Romania too as a coach and counsellor - and will partake in the international jury which grades the competition essays.
If you'd asked me a few days ago I would have sweared my occupation to the lowest hell because there is just too much work and stress... Now the worst workloads are behind me and then comes this.
Funny how easily one's head can be turned.
