I would like to think that the picture shown above is reflective of how I am handling my classes and interacting with the children who comes and goes through the glass door of the place I work.
But from the gentle reminder my senior mentor had to tell me in the midst of my 2\first class for today, brought me to the conclusion instead of the friendly, approachable and fun Mentor that I thought I was, I am actually more like the image I am inserting below:
But I hope now that it had been pointed out to me l\that I am more of a Genghis Khan than the Florence Nightingale I imagined myself as, I might be able to work on my teaching methods so I will resemble the following image better than what I am now:
However, despite my disturbing discovery that I am NOT the friendly, patient and approachable teacher I thought myself to be, I enjoy my new job immensely. I love interacting with the kids whom all these while I thought liked instead of feared me...
I will try to improve my approach to teaching so that one day I will deserve the wonderful poem written for wonderful teachers every where who inspire, educate and amaze students the world over on a daily basis; among which my sister is proudly and deservedly enshrined on the pedestal of INCREDIBLE educators.
