Lost in the storm: trying to keep going as an English teacher

Postbox letter from Robert

There are days when I wake up feeling completely exhausted not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. I carry a weight that doesn’t seem to go away, no matter how hard I try to stay positive.


This much I know part 2

What has life taught me so far in my 36 years

I actually know less and learn more with each year. I have stopped knowing everything- I spent my late teens and 20s in a constant state of arrogance and a self righteous belief that I knew everything.


This much I know

Some of the things I've learned from life

The website of the Guardian UK newspaper runs a regular series called ‘This Much I Know'. Each week, a well-known person - perhaps a movie star or politician - gets into the hot seat and shares their thoughts on what they've learned in life. It's a selection of random musings and single-paragraph viewpoints that are nearly always fascinating to read.
