„A sense of purpose“
„On some level, I think everyone wants to save the world. For me, teaching at a UWC is the best way I have found, based on the skills that I have, to do this. Moving forward, our planet will need resilient, compassionate, and well-informed people, and as a teacher at RBC I get to help raise them. More than recycling and buying secondhand clothes, more than non-flying, climate-compensating and vegetable-eating, working as a teacher gives me a sense of purpose and of being in the place where I can be the most useful. It also means spending most of my days in the company of teenagers, which is a special and – I think – often underestimated privilege. It is heartwarming, humbling, and hilarious all at the same time. Everyone should try it.“
