Abstract:
It is said that a nation’s future is shaped in its classrooms, and the person who shapes it is the teacher. They pass on knowledge and values in every generation. A teacher plays a crucial role in developing one’s life. They are considered one of the main pillars of a sound and progressive society and they had a long-lasting impact on students in building up their future.
Since childhood, I have always desired to become a teacher and my view of the profession was different. However, my perception and mindset radically changed after entering into this profession as an intern. The primary goal of my internship was to teach for a duration of two to three months, to gain some practical experience and then leave. However, my current goal is to pursue a career as a full-time teacher.
Throughout the entire journey, my objective was to make a positive impact on their learning, by making it as easy and effective as possible. I tried my best to understand their learning preferences, interests and difficulties, utilizing a several teaching methods that I have learned through my tutoring experience, as well as knowledge that I gained from my university’s respected teachers.
While acknowledging the areas for improvement within the administrative framework to enhance future performance, I also assisted them in various fields to facilitate improvement. Throughout this internship, I have realized that, being a teacher is not merely a job. As teachers helps the students entering into the store-houses of knowledge without which a refined and higher life cannot be thought of. Teachers play a vital role as the backbone of a nation and serve as role models for both society and students. Therefore, choosing to pursue a career in teaching is not a decision to be taken lightly.
