C2n: Colony to Nationhood
Mr. TorlÉe
World Issues
What is your favourite kind of tea?
Orange Pekoe.
Which assignment was the most fun to mark?
I enjoyed marking the "virtual" Colony to Nationhood projects. Taking into consideration the fact that C2N had to be completed remotely (because of the COVID-19 pandemic), I was quite impressed with the organization and creativity involved in coordinating each component of this project.
Have you picked up any new hobbies during this period of social distancing?
Yes. I have taken up mountain biking and it is quite addictive. The sport is challenging, appeals to my sense of adventure, and makes me feel like a kid again!
Are you a cat or dog person? Explain your choice.
Cats and dogs both appeal to me. If I were to choose one, I’d have to say that I’m a cat person. I like the fact that cats are impulsive, but on the other hand, quite agreeable.
What is the best song of all time? Explain your choice.
Wow! I’m an avid music lover and this is a VERY difficult question to answer. I’d say that the song would have to have the perfect combination of music and lyrics to be considered. Considering this, I could easily pick 20 songs that would fit this mold. So, I have to consider the “chill factor”. If you have ever felt that chill when you hear a particular song, you will know exactly what I mean! My pick? “Hey Jude” by the Beatles.
Why do you keep coming back to teach Global?
Teaching in the Global Perspectives program is an awesome experience. It gives me the opportunity to work with a fantastic teacher team and the chance to be creative and think outside of the box. The biggest draw of Global is the opportunity to work with a unique and talented group of students. Our program challenges students and helps them learn how to navigate the world with a critical lens. They also develop a high degree of empathy through their studies and the relationships that they build while travelling to Cuba and Germany. From a teacher’s perspective, I enjoy being a part of this process and witnessing how each student develops from the beginning to the end of the program.
If you could give one piece of advice to the Global class of 2020, what would it be?
In the future, never let a fear of failure determine your fate. Take risks and learn to embrace the discomfort inherent in new experiences. Ultimately, this will help you realize your potential as a human being.
