Things students don't know about you:

1. Students don't know or understand how hard you work.
2. Students often don't know what hard work is, but think they do.
3. Students don't know that you see the world differently than they do. They see the world on their terms--in a self-centered fashion--and you know you are not the center of the universe. This is key to rapport building.
