im the kinda person that doesnt really care to put in much, if any at all, effort in most that i do if i don't really have the passion. i may be in university and on my way to becoming an educator but the irony is i dont really care to do significantly well in my studies. grades are merely grades that'd be reflected in my certificate upon graduation, right? im in it for the kids man. in it for the kids. and when that part of me is affirmed, that im actually capable of being a really good teacher (in the near future despite seemingly lacking in the qualities of the cookie-cutter kinda teacher that society expects us to be), im just thankful for the support. some days i really doubt myself. i guess schooling at NIE does that. personally, i feel that the culture here's that we have to be a certain way/ person. and well, im not. and that makes me feel like id be a shitty teacher because im not who NIE tries to make me be.
and other days, i realise that i am who i am and nobody's gonna try to turn me into anything else i dont want to be. who i am will not define the teacher id be for my future kids. and god do i want to be the best teacher i can ever be for them.
for them. (:
