Enjoying the Process

Enjoying the Process

I love this quote from Jennifer Chiaverini. It leaped out at me as I was reading the novel “Enchantress of Numbers” a couple of nights ago. The quote was intended to encourage a student not to live only for answers, but to learn how to enjoy the process of getting to answers. I applied it to myself as a teacher of struggling students, reminding myself to enjoy the process of crafting and teaching lessons that lead students to those moments where a difficult concept becomes clear. After all, many hours are spent in the planning and executing of great lessons, and the Ah-Ha Moments would never arrive without them!
