Post-Bad Day


Homage to Teachers

I’m a teacher, without fears and without complexes.
I’m a teacher and proud to be one.
Yes, I’ve got almost two months vacations
and my workday is short but intensive.
I’m a teacher, and I take my work home
and others don’t know that
but I don’t care
...I’m a teacher

I don’t argue about the number of holidays a fireman has,
or the people who work in jails.
I’m a teacher
and when I go to the doctor I don’t argue
with the diagnosis,
I just ask to be cured.
I’m a teacher and when I go to the lawyer
I don’t argue about the law,
I just want to be defended.
I’m a teacher and when I drive on the highway
I feel safe
because
I know the highway was designed by an engineer.
I’m a teacher and I live peacefully in my home,
the one designed by an architect.
And you, who are you? Why do you dare
to tell me that I work little and badly at that?

I’m a teacher
and everyday I teach the way to assimilate
the competences needed by my students.
I’m a teacher
and everyday of every course, I face a bunch of kids that I learn from as much as they learn from me.
And you, who are you? Why do you dare
to tell me that I work little and badly at that?


I’m a teacher and everyday I work
with sensitive and fragile individuals
who
still have not matured.
I’m a teacher and I try to show them how to
achieve personal success through work, force and dignity.
And you, who are you? Why do you dare
to tell me that I work little and badly at that?


My salary is reduced, my hours lengthened
I have more and more students
in my classes ...
I KNOW WHO I AM.
But... you, who do you think you are?

Future Scientist Medical Station

Hello all!

I'm almost finished with the futuristic space station for the project.  As you can see from the pictures, it is floating deep in outer space (somewhere....) and comes complete with a medical bay, healing pod, sitting areas, and display screens.  Hope you like it!!
