Dear Soul Miracle, I admit that I really love when most of those I teach happen to be either a little or a lot older than I
Yes, there's a boost in confidence that comes from being able to teach your native language to people with more existential experience, but even more so when you can educate them with knowledge of a vast array of worldly topics which they appear to value. Of course, their experience helps these "students" to inform my world as well.
That said, the number one reason I love helping older people learn--after so many years of taking in their words of wisdom--is they usually express the most enthusiasm, which is likely the greatest gift of all lives' loving creations

...And the majority wrote a word: Traveling
Perfect.
We are truly all travelers braving journeys
