11/07/11: I make people cry
When I taught design in an associates degree program, I was known as either a total b%$ch or an awesome teacher (obviously this depended on which student you asked). I have little tolerance for laziness and even less for people wasting my time. On more than one occasion, I made a student cry. I’d like to say I felt bad about this, but I didn’t. Sometimes it takes a good swift kick in the pants to get students motivated. If I had to be the one to do so, so be it. However, this became a frustrating role to fulfill day after day. No one wants to always be the bad parent. So when I left that job I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that I wouldn’t find anyone in cowering and weeping in a bathroom stall after a trademark Kerstin tirade.
Last week I was surprised to discover that I made someone cry again, especially since I no longer teach in an associates degree program. But this time, to my immense relief, it was tears of joy! I just wrapped up a project that the author spent over 15 years researching and writing. It’s a project that has involved the collaboration of many talented people and I was just one in the mix. But, I will say that the design of the piece came out spectacularly well and I was really proud. An assistant told me that when the author saw the design in print, she burst into tears because it looked so beautiful. Now that’s the kind of crying that doesn’t make you quit your job!

O so sweet! I also did a short term job in a school and I have to stick few times to teach them better though it was a worse feeling after backing home and it was remaining on and on. So, I tried to make the student cheer up before my next lesson. But the second incident of the success is extremely good to hear. Thanks for sharing two different and special experiences with us.
