Teaching under a pillow

By: Aaron Solly

When I was around ten or eleven years old, I was like any other kid. I had an imagination. I would create a whole highway for my cars in the front driveway of his house. I even had an imaginary friend named Joker.

During my years of elementary school, I really looked up to my teachers and the other teachers at the school. I got excited to think about the next few years and which of the other teachers in the school I would have. This excitement stayed with me even after school and into the evening.

When there were nights that I couldn’t sleep, I would put my head under my pillow. I was now in my very own classroom and I was the teacher. I would pretend I was one of the teachers in my school and I was teaching the class about math or social studies. I did all of this while speaking out loud.

I would usually start off by saying, “Ok class this is what we are going to do today.” I would even have my hands under the pillow to pretend I was writing on the blackboard. Eventually, the pillow would end up off to the side from all the activity.

To anyone listening to me, it probably sounded quite funny. I didn’t care. I didn’t mind if my parents or my brother or sister could hear me talking to my class. I loved it.

As I grew older, I came to realize something profound about my teachings from under his pillow. I reviewed the things that I really enjoyed in life and a lot of things came back to teaching. I loved it as a kid and continue to love it today.

Now let’s strengthen that thing between your ears.

1. From looking back at my past, I realized that teaching is a passion for me. Spend some time thinking about your past and present, what things did you do and what things are you doing that reflects what you are passionate about?


2. Right now, are you spending enough time doing what you are passionate about? Why or why not?


3. What are you doing today that is directly related to what you are passionate about?


4. Is there anything that you would change about your life to ensure you are achieving your passion?

I used to teach imaginary people when I was a kid. It took me until I became an adult to realize teaching is something that I love to do. You can read about my story to help you achieve success in your life to do what you are passionate about.
