i don't think i had formal training on how to teach and be a good teacher - i simply didn't learn those in the classroom as i was never an education department student. but i can tell that teaching is fun - eventhough sometimes i find it very challenging, not only about the lessons i deliver, but also about the students i work my classes with.
today started with Yellowcard new single, "Here I Am Alive". i always love listening to their music as it always pumps my spirit. i was actually in a hasty state-of-mind, because i had loads of teaching schedule : 3 classes in a row! so i just hoped that everything went well.
my first class was Science class of the 2nd grade of High School. this is one of the classes where i seem to teach ALL THE TIME - and it sucks, because the ideal thing is having every class taught in random frequency by same teacher. before coming into the class, i was thinking, "was it ME teaching in that class the previous meeting?" i was unsure, but also a little bit certain. when i entered the classroom D, i panicked a little - looking into the class agenda. there, it was written clearly, in my handwriting, that i WAS in this classroom before, been teaching them, like, for FOUR times in a row!!! what the heck! for real, it was one truly awkward moment to be in the same class over and over again within a short period of time! i just thought, how boring it would be for them to have me teach them ONCE damn, again?! oh, be real!
