What Do I Want For My Students?

I want them to be able to read something, and write or speak about it without sounding like idiots. I want them to think of themselves as good kids. I want them to be bigger than their stories. I want them to be in charge of themselves. I want them to like me. I want them to come to class. I want them to graduate. I want them to get good jobs. I want them to be happy. I want them to go through life actively and with awareness. I want them to question. I want them to discover. I want them to look back in twenty years and remember even one thing that I taught them. I want too much, but that's teaching.
