Practice teaching is a commitment, a process, an activity and at the same time a worthwhile experience which is vital to those people who wants to be involved in the noblest profession “the teaching profession. This is the most awaited part of being a college taking education course like me. It is a part where all the learning we have from the 4 years of study in our own institution will be applied in the setting.
As a student teacher I have experienced everything. There is part of happiness and as hardships as well. On my first day or weeks in Baao central as an intern I felt very disappointed of myself, as if everything went wrong in everything I do, even my relationship with my students was really affected just because of my fear on my cooperating teacher. But later I realized she was just testing me and she wants to develop me as a teacher. One thing I’ve learned from that situation is that you should take every critic to you constructively and accept it positively because in the end it is just for your own improvement.
Getting along with the pupils, sharing laughter with them and being greeted like “good morning sir” really makes me happy and relieve my stress each day. And also when you know that your students really learn from you. It is also nice feelings when the teachers around you are very supportive to you though you are just new for them. And in just 10 weeks of stay Baao central, they already considered you as part of the family.
This off campus teaching is the most unforgettable experience that helps me to be molded and prepared to my real journey after the graduation maybe I will encounter in the future actual teaching. We all know that the first time of experience is the hardest but it is the most precious experience . I was really blessed that I surpass the practice teaching which gave me a lot of reasons to go on with these profession.
