Teaching is often referred to as a job, sometimes as a career, or even a profession, but it is far more than that: We consider the choice as a way of life, or even a way of being. The teacher’s journey represents a lifelong commitment to learning, not only about your content area, grade level, curricular changes, school policy, and technological innovations, but about true passion for new knowledge and skills that make you more effective as a professional— and a human being. .
I t is remarkable when you consider that the teacher’s journey is one of adventure. Each year we encounter new students and become a part of their lives, just as they become members of our community. We are witnesses to their joys and their sorrows. We watch as they learn, grow, and mature, as well as when they falter, make mistakes, and fail. We do our best to support, encourage, and inspire them to succeed. With our words, as well as through our actions, we model for them what is possible and what they can achieve. It is certainly through our skills, knowledge, and expertise, but also through our very presence, that we demonstrate our faith in their abilities.
One of the main obstacles I must achieve here at kira secondary School is to listen, learn, and to be obedient in all the discussions and the assignments asked of me. Last but not least I have to say I have to overcome all negative feelings I get from time to time to complete all my educational goals. I need to be prepared mentally and physically for anything that is being asked of me from my instructors. I feel that I need to keep an open mind as well because I know all the feedback from classmates and instructors will be of great help in making me a better person and learner. There are a few things I must do to overcome all these certain obstacles here in a school in order to have a successful completion of my studies.
