Is it a good start or should I make some changes to make it more understandable?To me, children are like a puzzle. Every child is unique as is every puzzle. Because of this, the single piece that the puzzle is started upon is best built by corresponding pieces, or in the child’s case, ideas that are captivating to him/her. I have seen so many of my friends lose their interest in learning because they are given a forced curriculum. They deal with this curriculum like robots memorizing and purging. Then, they move on to the next topic forgetting all about the previous. I don’t want to see the vacant look in my students’ eyes. I want to make sure that each and every child I teach maintains that curiosity that they are born with.</blockquote>
