TEACHING IS A MAGICAL PROFESSION

.. It made me believe in myself and I am sure I am in the right path..

Next day we were eager to get classes and the teachers were very much cooperative to give us their classes. Each day gave us new experiences. We felt innocent love of our students. On that day their was an assembly which made students aware of the importance of washing hands and the leader showed the pupil how to wash the hands and asked them to follow her.

On Wednesday for the first time I got 7A. It was anew experience to deal with the smaller kids. Their questions and talents were really amazing.

On Thursday our teacher Preetha ma'am came to observe our class and we were amazed that, how quite our 8B class was. They really concentrated on the class. I was prepared with an ICT session, but due to technical errors , I took the class in lecture method. But they were thorough with our portions. We took the lesson "Rosa Parks Sat Still". When ever we asked questions they were able to answer. I was happy that they understood the story. Later in other 8th classes I showed the videos of the lesson which made them clear with the story.

When we become very much closer to them, they become eager to show us their talents. Devananda, a student of 8th standard showed us a picture she draw, which made us extremely happy.

On the last day we bought chocolates for them to say goodbye. But they were really sad of our departure. We three were so sad to leave from the school. They hugged and kissed us. We knew that, we will miss this school and our kids.

Most important thing is, I understood what is the feeling of our teachers when we answer to the questions well from their portions. We were able to understand and mingle with different kind of students from different background. Their was both English medium and Malayalam medium, so we also got chance to understand the differences. It was really a nice experience. This profession made me believe in myself more. I need to improve more to teach and need to produce a fruitful generation.

Teaching is not just a job or profession. Beyond salary, beyond a secure job, It is the only profession which can give us a respectable position in the society. It is the only profession which can make all other professions. More than anything a teacher need a passion to teach. And I believe I have that passion within me.
