There’s a common myth in education that teachers are the ones saving students, often seen as rescuers when they walk in. But what if it’s the students who teach us just as much more? Welcome back to My Life Ain’t Perfect, where we share real stories, emotions, and moments of liberation. I’m Rodrick C. Johnson, an educator, coach, speaker, and someone who has been profoundly changed by the students I once thought I was saving. This episode is deeply personal, focusing on one student, one moment, and one surprising reflection. Sometimes, the students you believe are following your lead end up guiding you home.
