Educational Experience

Being a teacher is a wonderful experience in which the teacher has the opportunity to teach and learn from their students. This semester, I had the opportunity to teach high school students. I consider that working with them was easy because they paid attention to my instructions and followed it. I had to be carefully in choosing the topics because they easily got bored with the topics that were not appropriate to their age. I liked the way I could work with my students because they were interacting each other. They were not shy students; I could easily make them participate in the activities. Some of them used to say that they did not like English, but they were participating. I tried to make a dynamic class applying all the knowledge I had acquire. The students were not accustoming to do warm up activities, but as soon as we started applying them. They liked it; it was a new way to start a class. Teaching is not easy because it requires discipline, concentration, innovation, but being a teacher is just amazing.
