Why I Became A Teacher (February 2010)

We live in a fast pace society and it seems as though it’s getting faster and faster. “There is more to life than increasing its speed,” said Mahatma Ghandi. I, like many others, have had too many things to do in too short a day. I have been under pressure and have put pressure on myself. And I worry (just as my mother worried … my mother, myself). While faith, family and friends have helped me throughout my life, I now have another avenue: T’ai Chi Chih, which helps me every day get in the right frame of mind. TCC has given me a sense of peace, and I want to share that with others.

In addition, our population is aging (as am I). Various medical conditions are on the rise. The need to keep active both physically and mentally is great. What better way than TCC. I do feel as though life has brought me to where I am today for this reason. Life led me to my teacher who encouraged me. Life led me to learn of Justin Stone and TCC. I shall be forever grateful. Joy is meant to be shared, and the desire to share the joy of TCC is why I became a teacher.
