What is your "happiness"?

On Thursday, we had a great and lively discussion about Nel Noddings article. I want you all to think deeply about this - what is YOUR happiness? Not determined by someone else, not what will make your parents happy/proud, not what you think I want to hear...what is YOUR happiness?

I'm asking because I think it is important that you KNOW this - until you are truly "happy" you cannot help others to find their happiness...in my mind, this includes teaching.

I'm not looking for "warm fuzzies"...I'm looking for you to really think about this and be honest with not only your classmates, but yourself as well.

I'll share mine with you as well...but not just yet. I look forward to reading your response...
