As a teacher, I am like a lot of stuff

So, if I had known that to be a teacher, I would have to compare myself to inanimate objects, I would have gone down a different career path. I've never had to compare my teaching style to a zipper, and I never want to do it again. I've never had to think outside the box to such an extreme, and I don't want to do it again. I like to think that I'm a somewhat creative person, but that assignment was extremely difficult for me to accomplish. On one side of it, there was stubborn me telling me that it was pointless because you can't teach like a zipper, and the other side said that something important would come out of it, so tough it up and make it through. In the mist of all the conflict in my head was me, contemplating crying, screaming, or picking a different career. I didn't like this particular assignment, but I think I learned a lot from it. Metaphors aren't my favorite thing to think about, so trying to write a paper based off a metaphor was a challenge that turned out pretty well, I thought. Before this class and this assignment, I wouldn't have thought about teaching in some of the ways I do now. Everything has a higher importance now, because I'm constantly thinking about the metaphors behind the actual project, and how everything can tie back together. If I had to go back and do it again, I probably wouldn't have complained so much, but I complain about a lot of things. Although I hated this assignment, I did learn some things about myself and my teaching style, so it wasn't all for nothing.
