Real life event: My gear
for the future.
“Experiential learning is
the best teacher.” Sounds cliché yet it is a real life event that once failed
could not be drawn back to make it successful instead it is a lesson learned- a
gear for the future!
Community immersion gave significant experiences in my
life as a teacher-to-be. I was able to meet different people, to face
complicated circumstances, and to make sound decisions. All of those were added
in my treasure box of sweet memories. But our immersion was not all about
serious matters and not just all about mind-pressuring field works, we also had
fun!
One thing that really etched in my heart is the time we
did our demonstration in front of newly acquainted students of Calaya National
High School. I found myself responsible for their learning that very moment.
There I was able to feel that I am bound with my profession and that I was BORN
TO BE TEACHER. And as I go along with their comments and personal messages to our
group, I was filled with gratitude from all their heartfelt thanks. That is the
essence of being a teacher- loving your students and they will love you in
return. No matter how hard we worked with our lesson plan, how hard we worked
to beautify our visual aids, and how hard we think of a better motivation our
hardships were eased by a simple thank you and a smile painted in their faces.
Simple things that only true teachers can appreciate.
A
big real life event such as this community immersion helped me in developing my
skills as a teacher. It is a memory that deserves not just to be reminisced but
a memory worth living for. Another chapter of my life was revealed!
