32. Teachers
i. Would you like to be a teacher?
I would! It's a very rewarding profession cause only teachers can make a difference changing somebody's life positively. It's also a profession that lets people live with a deep sense of purpose giving and receiving unconditional love and by doing so positively impact the future of our world
No, never. It's a very hard and stressful job. It takes a lot of energy and patience. Moreover, teachers in my country don't earn much money.
ii. Do you think you could be a teacher?
I would like to think that yes, 'cause L love to teach, I am good at motivating others, I have great organizational skills, J am patient, flexible and creative. So, definitely more yes than no!
I guess no. Lam not confident enough for being a teacher. What is more, L have difficulties with adaptability, hate explaining_ something to others more than once and get tired of kids rather fast. So, definitely no!
iii. Did you have a favorite teacher?
Yeah, I did. My most favourite teacher taught me Geography. Thanks to her I fell in love with travelling and explored a fair bit of countries She was very professional and passionate about teaching and working with children, she was also very engaging and help the attention of students in all discussions. She inspired me a lot and that's the main reason why 1 loved and still love her.
Unfortunately, I don't. My school teachers aren't enthusiastic about teaching that's why it's hard for them to inspire us or engage us in learning activities. They don't challenge us, don't care about our results, don't encourage us to always work at our best level. On the one hand, it makes me really upset, but on the other hand it helps me develop self motivation skills, which is not that bad.
iv. How does this teacher help you?
Well, except for fostering my love of travelling, she made me believe that I was special and mattered, that I could achieve and become anything I wanted. It was really important for me in my teenage years. She also taught me not to be afraid to make mistakes as they provide valuable learning opportunities and remain true to myself in any life situation,
