17/9
It’s 17th September, which means it’s exactly 9 months since I came out to India. At the college where I teach, we’re just reaching the end of Term 3, and will start Term 4 in a couple of weeks.
It’s also 21 years to the day since I started my first teaching job, as a lecturer at what was then Leicester Polytechnic, later De Montfort University.
Like many people, I got into teaching by accident. But here I am 21 years later, and still doing it… I guess this proves that I still like it!
