Falling in Love

Prompt:  Create a metaphor/simile/analogy that describes your teaching philosophy.

Teaching is like falling in love for the first time.

When you take the big leap into teaching, you have no idea what you're in for in the coming years.  You go into it with eyes wide open, taking in every experience, hoping that you won't miss the little things.  Because it's your first love, you don't know what to expect, so you go off what everyone tells you.  You think that since everyone else has been there before, they must be right.  And just like your first love, when you realize that everyone else was wrong, you're crushed, but you persevere because you find the idiosyncrasies to be beautiful and incomparable to anything else.
