Teaching

We have a new member to our library, he is most disciplined in many lines of thinking and physical activity however, writing is lost to him. Due to his origin, writing was not necessary. I have taken it upon myself to teach him to write.

Last night we started our lesson and I must admit it seemed to be more stressful on him than I had planned.

At one point I saw myself in him and it was a certain blow to myself. I felt horrid, as though the room were spinning and I could not stop it. I had asked him to relax, it felt as though I was giving a wrong piece of information. When one is tense all the time is it so baffling to think that another might be worse than you. But the words came from my mouth and there was naught I could for it.

However, once I regained my constitution the lesson started again and he is proving very well. I must admit, it has been a long time since I have taught anyone anything. I used to tutor in college for those who required it, but that was still some time ago...

I will teach him to write for he has asked. I am more than willing to teach something so valued. Besides, were his little wrist computer.... thing to break how would he take down notes of his findings around the city?
