How teaching practice changed my idea on how I see myself as a “Teacher”.

At first when I started to give some lessons in the teaching practice period I wanted the learners to like me and work with me but is soon learned the ugly truth. That is that not all learners will like you, especially when you try to discipline them. Even when you give your all, there will still be learners that do not appreciate it at all and does not bother to do homework but on the upside, I have found that most of the learners do appreciate it, especially when you try to make learning and the class fun and more interactive. I knew that I was on the right path as a teacher when the learners thanked me at the end of the lesson that I gave. The experience I gained while on teaching practice was the best, I think it made me a better teacher in the sense that I am now more open minded to the problems that learners face each day, and that I now know what works and what does not work in the classroom.
