Being a teacher has been a bitter sweet experience it been an amazing experience as well, watching this children move from oblivious to actually knowing, watching the sadness of not understand a topic to the joy of understanding.
One of the things that excite me about teaching this young mind is the power I wheel, I didn't really understand it not until a parents came to look for me, it was exam period in the heat of trying to get all the questions for my class ready and put together, I was called back to the office the commandant which is the head teacher or principal in the military setting, on my way I was trying to replay the last week even the last month in hopes that I was not in trouble, I walked into his office and was met with a parent,and my heart dropped when she went is this her? I was almost in tears ready to defend myself, than she said aunty I expected someone bigger ooo, so this is you, I haven't been able to say a complete word in my house without your pupil correcting me,than if u make mistake that is even the worst the next thing you will hear is miss precious said that not how to say it,miss precious said that not how to do it, miss precious say miss precious say so I only came to know this miss precious that knows everything,she held my hand and said thank you all the intestine in my stomach had a party instantly.
At that moment the joy in my heart knew no band, the joy of knowing that your work and world is not really falling on hard soil it actually falling on fatal ground and it growing is something to be proud of, before I was called to the office I was exhausted but returning to my class from the office I felt renew and pumped for the rest of the day.
Before now I wanted to be done with the season and move I was tired, I didn't want to be a classroom teaching anymore,I want to be a subject teaching where I would just come when it was my period teach and go but now knowing that I'm been heard and I'm actually making an impact is a lot and I would stay as a classroom teacher even though the work load is much I would rather be here with them than in the staff room the origin of gossip 😆
The term is coming to an end by Friday and I can say I will miss my babies I never thought I would be this attached with them but it is what it is, even as a teacher I have come to learn a lot like how to calculate for percentage both in the register and the report card things they don't really teach in school as a graduate of educational management and planning I can say for a fact that I was never taught, or did I ever even read it anywhere all my day in the university how to calculate for register or report card well it safe to say as I'm teaching I'm also learning.
