Am I Really A Teacher?

Am I Really A Teacher?

                The question is always same. It never changes day by day. I have experienced many days to teach, to educate, to interact with kids. However, it always comes to me. I have tried to believe…I have tried to love. Am I Really A Teacher?

                This fifth semester in Sampoerna School of Education will be great. I see some topics relate each other, such as Motivation Managing Classroom for Effective Teaching and Affective Instruction. Those courses, definitely prepare me how to be a good teacher from now on and forever.

                The first meeting of MMSEL course was good. Along the session, I reflect myself whether I have chosen a right decision. However, when students were asked who were going to be a teacher, I answered me.  Otherwise, right now I am still thinking about the things I can still do beside teaching…such as writing and exploring music. Somehow I have felt that teaching is a passion of me, but I can’t let writing and music go from my life. If I were asked which one I have to choose, I can’t.

                In fact, I have experienced many things in the context of teaching and education. I love it so much and I can let it go from my daily lives. Then finally I decided that, yeah, teaching is in my soul.

                When I decide “yes, I am a teacher”, the next question is “am I really a teacher?”

                I define teachers to be someone who is awesome. They teach, they educate, they inspire, and they motivate. Do I really have those kinds of quality? I am always wondering and questioning. I think that I already teach. I feel that somehow I already educate. Otherwise, have I inspired and motivated my students?

                Let this semester through Motivation Managing Classroom for Effective Teaching guides me to find the answer…
