Life As An Educator : Inspiration is crucial!!! ~ Teacher's Day Story!

Frequently i have been asked this question by my students,

'What Inspires You As A Teacher?'

So, this year i have been asked the same question , so for me it was like a deja vu, this is pretty easy, pretty lame question that i have to answer,Same Script Different Cast.

First scene ~ So, when i Am ready to answer the question ..with my made up script, feeling empty whatsoever, the moment i started to open my mouth to answer, i am suddenly petrified with a random memory that went through my head,  the memory im refusing to let go.

Second scene ~ With a sudden pause, i was inhaling and tried to pacify myself..and staring emptily at my interviewer's face, and then..i told her..

Third Scene ~ ' See me tomorrow, i would answer that question and others, i'm not feeling well,' with a curious nod, she walked away hesitantly , i supposed.

Fourth Scene ~ I am sitting on my fluffy seat, because there is an extra foam cushion on top of it, hehe..for the sake of having a therapeutic working environment...really? just the seat is therapeutic, but the table is chaotic.

Never mind that, i was beginning to reminisce what happened last year during teacher's day. For the first time in my life, i am beginning to feel really grateful to the Almighty for showing me unexpected way of becoming a teacher or educator supposedly.

Straight up, Being a teacher was never my planned since i was a kid. I always wanted to be a (im scared to admit) singer or celebrity , because i was blinded by the glitz and glamor of rich and famous.Haha! 

Deep inside, i always felt that i am not eligible of being one because i believed being a teacher does mean that one has to be perfect all the time, which im really horrible at that area, honestly.

On My first phase of being a teacher, i always told myself that this career is temporary, just for fun finding experience , but years went by, i am starting to fall madly in love with this career more and more. It was something so out of the world for me at first to admit i am liking what i am doing for real. So, i never looked back ,even with a less salary compared to other educators at my place, i was working my heart out, i'd rather sleep at school than at home, that's how i married my job. I am full with passion and enthusiasm . I dont really care what people would say, slander , i just did it my own way, and i am really proud of what i have achieved. I have few friends that i met along the way, helping me creating the whole new me, someone i thought have died long time ago. And here comes the most important part : the most responsible people that making me loving this career tremendosuly is absolutely my :

DRUM ROLLS 

STUDENTS.

2008 - 2011 students, They changed my Life in a very beautiful, special and Unique ways.

every one of them is exceptional.

Students always said, teachers inspired them, dont they know that how teacher can inspire them is actually based on how they inspired their teachers directly or indirectly.

As for me, i got inspired by them everyday ..

Last scene ~ The next day. I answered the question

To all my students, THIS IS MY ANSWER :

"What inspires me is the ability I have to make a great change, to make a difference and here is how I am trying to do that for my students.

I believe students are willing to discover and apply new information if it is presented in an interesting, challenging and relevant way. I strive as an educator to apply rigorous teaching methods across a broad range of informative, innovative, and interactive assignments. I will structure my classroom in ways that take into consideration students' diversity, as a class, as learners, and as individuals, and encourage collaboration and active learning experiences, Help me make this a reality".
