PASSION AND COMPASSION

Image
As a Field study student and Future educator, I understand and see the real world in teaching. After observing inside and outside the campus I realized a lot. Before I took Education, my view about teaching is that  being a teacher was only about teaching. A profession that does nothing but make lesson plans and impart knowledge to students. But in reality, it’s not. Being a teacher means touching and reaching the lives of the students. As a teacher we must mold our students not only academically but also their emotions, skills, and self-belief. When I experienced teaching off campus when my Critic teacher was absent, I experienced all the situations that happen inside the classroom. I have experienced encountering children who come in without pocket money, children who come in late for various reasons such as they still have a lot of responsibilities at home and there are others who have family problems. But despite what they are going through in life, they still persist in g...

THE BEAUTY BEHIND SOCIAL STUDIES

  English, Math, and Science are the subjects that all students know and love. Many people don’t like Social Studies, some say it’s boring and some say when their teacher starts teaching this inside the classroom, they all feel sleepy. Before, when I am in Junior High school, I hate social studies, because all I know is that it is all about history, and for me it’s not that important because even if we go back to the past again and again, we will not be able to change it anymore. But then, when I graduated Senior High School, I started asking myself what major I want in college. And then I suddenly thought that I should try social studies as a major, and this is where I started to appreciate and see the beauty of social studies.   Social sciences are another name for social studies. It is a field that examines how people behave, interact, use resources, and organize themselves. Geography, anthropology, economics, history, sociology, political science, and civics are the topics...

I AM A TEACHER, NOT JUST A TEACHER

"Teacher is the easiest course and that Job or Profession won't help us to become rich". "What can we gain from being a teacher?" "Maybe your course is easy, because you are only a teacher". Upon hearing those words and question from other people hurt me a lot. It's sad that when they hear the word Teacher, they only see it as a minor profession. I can't bear to hear anymore disparaging things about being a teacher, that's why I am here to show you that being a teacher is NOT just being a teacher. Teaching is the Noblest Profession because it takes courage and passion. A teacher needs to have the guts to stand up for their pupil's interests and a strong passion for teaching, even when it is difficult. Teacher is the builder of our nation. They have a big role in the world that they need to play. Being a teacher is not only focused on teaching, but they also play a role of being a mother inside the classroom. A mother who is there to car...
