One of the things is that you find this information, but then what do you do with it? Do you simply digitalise it and leave it online and hope that people will find it?

"I want to be a teacher because it is the one profession I have realised requires me to live with my heart on my sleeve, unapologetically."

"I grew up believing I could be anything I wanted to be in the world. I was able to use my imagination because I was exposed to various ideas throughout my learning at school."

"I wanted to be a teacher because, beyond the limitations of the classroom and the challenges we face every day, teaching is about being part of the growth of other individuals."

This is perhaps the most post-colonial experience: when the cracks begin to show, and the liberation promises are broken, people choose strategies towards aliveness.
