Curiosity

Curiosity is one of the basic engine that drives students to learn, but it is necessary that teachers incorporate it into their minds.

I remember one of the best teachers I had in college. She was professor of natural sciences, and for an entire course allowed us to be in charge of the school garden. In this garden each student had a plot, in which we had planted a tree. It was exciting to see him grow from week to week, from the first outbreak until we went to transplant into a forest. While it is true that not all seeds sprouted, did not matter because the trees were cared for by all students in the class. Curiosity that we had every time we went to visit the garden was palpable, and this made us more eager to learn everything related to our tree.
