I am sure you will do great! It must be an amazing feeling when you see a student 'get it' and they click with what is being taught. My instructors were very cool, the gave criticism with kindness & reinforced concepts, they also gave praise. It meant so much to me when my instructor hollered "Well done!" after I completed something that challenged me. A little praise goes a long way to creating success. I am awed by those who teach and teach well, it truly is a gift. Good luck to you!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-52030589489124950862011-10-18T10:47:13.453-07:002011-10-18T10:47:13.453-07:00Thanks everyone for the accolades.

Dar, it is students and new riders like you that make the instructor's jobs so rewarding and encourages new instructors to teach.<br />Unlike Irondad's threats and intimidation. If you don't hear from me by Monday, I'll be in a corner of a padded room quietly rocking and whimpering to myself. Can't sleep, Irondad will get me, can't sleep, Irondad will get me, can't sleep, Irondad will get me, can't sleep, Irondad will get me.Troubadourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567767701065756330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-75046889833138929722011-10-17T16:04:13.404-07:002011-10-17T16:04:13.404-07:00Congratulations.

I have been so engrossed in my own little Moto universe of late. It's good to hear that even the soon to be instructors do some of the same things us newbs do. You are right about it being humbling. It is a gift to pass on your knowledge to eager students and I admire you for it. Maybe some day I will think about teaching, but or now I would just like to have a successful road test and continue learning to be a proficient, skilled, and humble rider. <br /><br />Good luck with the rest of your course!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348278507505143679.post-32276269378922279202011-10-09T21:27:23.107-07:002011-10-09T21:27:23.107-07:00Another instructor in the make.
