I guess our brain processes brand new things differently. Doing something for the first time excites us, challenges us, makes us alert to all the small details. And being an international student provides ample opportunities to do things for the first time. I encourage us international educators to be mindful of these first time experiences, and celebrate them with our students.

I guess many Germans, Canadians, and Indians would shrug and tell me it is quite ordinary for them. For international students, our regular routines can feel unique and new. I guess my advice for us educators is to celebrate the everyday and create a learning experience in our routine, enjoying clichés and, at the same time, broadening our view.
