~TEACHER IN YOU~
Does being a teacher teach you anything?
My answer would be “loads”. I have learnt so much from being a teacher. There’ll never be an ending to what I can still learn. Mentoring, coaching, training, counselling skills – all these I learnt from teaching.
Being a more accepting person — less ready to condemn and more ready to forgive and move forward — all this, I learnt from teaching.
Practising the habit of being honest, non-prejudicial, just, fair, caring, kind — this too came as an added bonus.
Understanding myself, knowing how I was viewed by others and realising what I needed to do to improve every day came directly from my teaching experience too.
The most important thing I learnt? How you are as a person is reflected by the look on the faces of your students.
When you do a good job, you see the look of enlightenment and appreciation on them. When you care, they often care too. And, if you don’t, they couldn’t care less.
