Again a new experience!I guess my blog is going to remain confined to experiences and some of the usual philosophies of life.:)
Well now that I have quenched my thirst of adventure and hunger for sports now I am in for some mental activity.Recently I got a chance to teach practicals to 10TH STD students.I had no prior experience with teaching so everything was new for me.After two demos I discovered that I could deliver.But I was told that the real challenge lies when u face the students as they would differ from batch to batch.
Again one session with the students and I knew that I can actually do justice to the job allotted to me and the best part was this job came with a bonus for me.This was in terms of the variety of kids I came across and the variation in their attitude.
Since they were kids it was all the more easier for me to study them as their thoughts reflected on their faces.Its so easy to read them and understand what is going on inside their head bcoz I have been in those shoes some time ago.This counts as an advantage as its really easy to guide them without actually they having to speak.
Innocent,mischievous,dedicated,arrogant,inquisitive,lost,dreamy,ambitious,stable to categorize them but their this one basic energy flowing in all of them. They all are in a phase where "influence" plays a major role in their life.They are this budding flowers who need the maximum attention and care so that they bloom well to spread their fragrance everywhere and make this world all the more beautiful by their presence.One bad influence and their course changes,the way they look at life would change.
There were so many of them who had expectations in their eyes,an eagerness to learn and a will to grow.I actually felt good when I saw that they understood what I spoke and satisfied with the explanation.This was the time when I realized how a little encouragement here and there makes a difference.A kind word and a little push saying "u can" is a big thing.A teacher actually has this power to build a student's character by proper choice of words.When these kids are just about to face the world, it is the responsibility of a teacher to push them in the right direction.One discouraging comment and the kid's morale is down to the lowest possible.
Being a teacher might be a common thing but being a good one at that is really a herculean task bcoz u never know what happened to the seed u had sowed.Has it grown into a big sturdy tree or has remained a weed is seldom known to the teacher who made a difference.
So if I ever become a teacher I would rather try to be a good one,the one who teaches and inspires to learn more than just be a teacher who teaches.
