Grumpy teenagers grow up!

When you teach teenagers (among others) they can be quite intimidating sometimes, all that sullen grumpiness that you feel is just there to challenge you.... and then a few years later, you work with the same kids, but they're adults, they're colleagues, they're good company, they're good at what they do, and though you'd never have thought it a few years ago, you're happy to work with them! It's a wonder. So my lesson is to let forget all that teenage attitude, and just judge them as they are now on their own merits, and give them the chance.
