#14: Wild Dirt-bike Adventures & Teacher's Perspective on What this Young Generation is Like? - Michael Anderson

Michael Anderson is a South African primary school physical education teacher based in Qatar. He’s also an amateur motocross athlete who hosted and competed in many events. You can find him trying to be an inspiration and good role model for his students at school and on social media. Michael began working at a school at 17 and quickly transitioned into adulthood. He reflects on his journey while opening up about earlier struggles and how one teacher had a life-changing impact on him; he’s striving to do the same for his students. We discussed many topics, including the effects of learning from home on kids during COVID and how parents, students, and teachers are all struggling - is it time kids go back to school? And how can schools need to do more to support their students, insights on this generation? A horrific dirt-bike accident, surgeries, how he’s overcome hardship, and lesson’s he’s learned along the way. It was an inspirational and humbling episode. You’ll likely walk away from it feeling motivated with a fresh perspective on life. If you want to support the podcast, please consider sharing it! Don’t forget to subscribe for more free content.
