Being a parent is the most profound form of teaching. Children teach us patience, humility, and the art of guiding with love rather than force. In raising them, we learn to see the world through fresh eyes and to find wisdom in the simplest moments. Every question they ask becomes a lesson for both parent and child, and in their laughter, we discover the joy of learning anew. Truly, parenting is a lifelong classroom of the heart. While I have not stood formally as a teacher before a class, I have often shared knowledge in small ways, with younger family members, with friends seeking guidance, and in moments of mutual learning with those around me. In China, we say, “教学相长” (jiào xué xiāng zhǎng), meaning “teaching and learning nourish each other.” Even as I share what I know, I find myself growing alongside others.
