Thank you for sharing. I can relate to these. and add a few more.

Feigning interest when a student is telling you all the latest stories about their pet goldfish.

Finding time to attend student plays, musicals, and sporting events and learning to not be too critical when things don't always go perfectly.

Developing patience and a sense of humor for when you are directed to transfer the curriculum to a new format or software package for the fifth time in fifteen years.

Maybe later you will have to write one about secret skills you learn as a lawyer.
