REFLECTIONS ON TEACHERS AND TEACHING...

As we all know that teachers are very important. They are our second parents when we are in school. They teaches us so many things. That sometimes I forgot some of it. They also help us in achieving our goals and dreams in life. So we must be very thankful to them. For all the things they have done and given to us.

In our school we have this kind of activity known as the KYSD (know your school day). This is a two-day activity where in students will have the authority to be the faculty members for these days. One student will be the principal,one will also be the assistant of the principal, the other would be the clerk,one would also be the guidance counselor and most of the students will be the teachers. For me when I was young this was just my wild imagination. But know it was true and I became one of the teachers. Isn't that great? After the activity the students that was hired as a faculty member will be given certificate of their participation. Because of these certificate and the experience I applied to be one of the teachers.

I am one of those students who applied to become one of the teachers. I am applying to be a Filipino teacher. When I was hired, my co-teacher and I analyzed our given topics and got ready for our presentation on the next day. When that day came, that was the time when I become afraid to go on top on the flat form and discuss the given topic. When my classmates begun to listen I became more confident to speak up. I've tried to be one of the teachers last year in our KYSD. I just don't know why I acted like that this year. I think it was just about the topic where I need to explain it further and i need also to share some of my experiences about these topics. I just don't really know what experiences to share to my classmates. I am shy when I'm in front of the class but when I'm with my friends i am not.

Now I know more how it is hard and fun being a teacher. You need to let your students to understand what you are all talking about. You must be very confident to tell them some of your experiences in life related to the topic you are discussing so that they can be inspired to tell their experiences too. You must also know how to discipline them. It is fun because you can give them more knowledge they need. It's fun also when you are having games and activities and they are really wanting to participate on these activities related to the topics.

This experience of mine, being a teacher for days will I never ever forget in my life. This would always stay in my mind and in my heart. The mixed feelings i felt when I'm on the flat form and everything that happened.
