As a student teacher I always wanted to be a teacher so that I could boss other kids around, have my own classroom, and get paid for having so much fun. Now, of course, my reasons for teaching are very different. Working with children has always been a dream of mine, right behind my dream of getting married and having kids of my own. As I got older I realized that I could have both, and the best way to accomplish this was to become a teacher. As a teacher I could have the same schedule as my children, and when they werent in school I also wouldnt be in school and t herefore I could spend more time with them instead of working. I chose to get my degree in Bachelor of Science Industrial Education because I believe that younger children really want to learn. As you enter Jr. High and High School there seems to be too many students who dont want to be there because they start to realize that there are more fun things to do than to go to school. Then as you enter the College you will see the children who wanted to learn all through school trying to earn their degree, because they want to learn and make themselves better. I know that I dont want to teach college students because that means that I would have to go to college even longer and my dreams of having a family and working with kids would be postponed. During High School I was a teachers assistant for a kindergarten class, and my job was to help the kids when they needed it and to assist the teacher. One day I was told to work with a little boy on the alphabet, because he seemed to be having trouble recognizing the letters. That day I used flash cards to help him, and he worked really hard to learn them and finally he got them all right. The look on his face confirmed my

decision to become a teacher, his eyes lit up and we both started cheering at the same

time. At that time I realized that I didnt have to bribe him with candy or recess he really wanted to learn the alphabet and I helped him. That one moment when everything went as planned made all of the hard work that went into helping him and the disappointment to me and him when he didnt get them right just disappear. All that matter was that he got them all right and both of us were happy. It was a challenge to work through the tough times, but the reward is making a difference in some little childs life tha t is why I want to become a teacher. I just hope that my style and methods of teaching are good enough to make an impact on their lives and to help them learn. I realize that teaching isnt going to be easy and that there will be times when I will wonder why I ever thought that I could do this. At times like that I can just look back at all the good times and that will remind me of why I do what I do. I am very excited about becoming a teacher and I will do the best that I possibly can to improve the lives of all the children who enter my classroom. It will be very rewarding when I successfully teach my students from what they needs. When I visit my cooperating school, which is Ramon Magsaysay High School (RMHS) I was thinking if what kind of would I handle, do I encounter a notorious class, naughty, noisy, sarcastic, etc all of those was enter on my mind during my first day, and Im so afraid for that. Then when, we enter and meet our cooperating teacher, we feel confidence due to the advice of our department head which Mr. Malaya, he is very good head, he always give us an opportunity to spell out our feeling in term of our duties, maybe quite sometimes, but he always there to keep on touch with us. On my second week, I figure out that I encounter an cooperating teacher, who is very

approachable, humble, and good in term of being a cooperating, he as me on my

assistance when he needed, he ask me some suggestion to execute it well in our class, but unfortunately, he didnt give me any reference, or any cours e outline through our subject area, but as the output of TUP as student teacher I know were I put my field in term on this, I know what is the first thing I need to do, who to find or asking some of question regarding on this. I try to look for the reference, and search some topic that would be use to my subject area. I try to do it again the lesson that I was teaching in my in campus, in which I handle also the electrical subject. Since I handle this particular subject, and it is basic, Im not hesitating to teach it to my fellow students in RMHS. When I got the third week of staying in RMHS I know that all of them was interested to what I share to them, the first thing that I was do on that day, is to motivate them to listened and be able to be part of my subject maybe is too hard before I get their attention, but after all, I done it well, Im so proud to be their Student Teacher due to their positive output, I know that the higher section and lower section have the same skills and same part of being a students. So, there no such thing that would make us tired to have some knowledge regarding in our lesson, but there is a time that some of cooperating teacher is very insecure from what I done with my students, there is always discrimination on my work especially in my first month he always ask my assistance, and attention to our things. Since we have partners in that room, this particular cooperating teacher is always looking for my work, but not only for my work but also to the work of my student, he always assume that my students is stole his things, but I always defend my student for that accusation, as student teacher, is hurt to know that my students is always the center of that issues. So, since I know his attitude and his

background I ignore his nasty words that make my head guilt to the things that we never

done for own sake. I turn my attention to my students though he always embarrassing me in the front of my students. But I take it as a challenge, seem that my students are learned and enjoy with my style I continued my good start. On February 12, 2012 I was experience the unforgettable moment, we never been experience, we encountered a incident in which near on our school which is the RMHS, we actual see and observe this incident a house was burning in near of my room, and some of the student was panic, and cried but me and my students is relax and think that all is well, and all is gonna be fine when we do this plan well. And as I was I expect all is under controlled, by managing my student and instructing to their work. Maybe in the first thing we get panic and afraid and scared but, we still focus on ourselves to do the nice ways that would help our exiting of our school. All is well when we got it good. After that disaster back to normal, and we continue our discussion on our electrical subject until the day come. My final demo I know and I do believe that I can do it well, and I will be one of the MOST OUTSTANDING STUDENT TEACHER. This is always in my mind. Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
