This Is The Road I Have Tried To Follow As A Teacher: Living My Convictions; Being Open To The Process Of Knowing And Being Sensitive To The Experience Of Teaching As An Art; Being Pushed Forward By The Challenges That Prevent Me From Bureaucratizing My Practice; Accepting My Limitations, Yet Always Conscious Of The Necessary Effort To Overcome Them And Aware That I Cannot Hide Them Because To Do So Would Be A Failure To Respect Both My Students And Myself As A Teacher.

An Unauthentic Word, One Which Is Unable To Transform Reality, Results When Dichotomy Is Imposed Upon Its Constitutive Elements. When A Word Is Deprived Of Its Dimension Of Action, Reflection Automatically Suffers As Well; And The Word Is Changed Into Idle Chatter, Into Verbalism, Into An Alienated And Alienating “blah.” It Becomes An Empty Word, One Which Cannot Denounce The World, For Denunciation Is Impossible Without A Commitment To Transform, And There Is No Transformation Without Action.
