REFLECTING IN MY EARLIEST ENCOUNTERS WITH TEACHIG

III.    Reflect on your earliest encounters with teaching.  If you are drawn to teaching, when did you first feel drawn to it? What was it that drew you? What within you was evoked by teaching—its values, its methods, the way it names and frames reality? What does the nature of teaching reveal about who you are? If you aren’t, share a story about one of your favorite teachers.  What do you recall most vividly about that teacher? What was his / her relation to the subject taught? What was the ethos of his/ her classroom?




Recalling the first time I was in front of the student I can say that I was a mess, I was filled with nerves and I did not want to be there .At first it was hard, I had no words to speak to students, I was afraid to write on the board and keep control of the classroom was the hardest part. But step by step through the classes and some advice from my tutor I learned to control the situation, but I always felt insecure when teaching a class, especially when the tutor was infront.
After all these experiences, I began to realize that I already had an advantage, I'm older than them, I have many experiences,  I have no reason to be afraid and  also I earn respect from my students and I started to feel like a real teacher.
I  realized that teaching is more than a process or a class, teaching is everywhere and also very significant.
 The physical education teacher is the most memory I have. He was very hard with the students,but I remember that we had the best team of the city and we won many champions...he was a dedicate teacher and not only in the field court but also as a friend...
