To be a teacher

I still remember my teacher said to us in the class, " I really like this job. how wonderful I can meet various students who have a lot of possibilities. so even if my students doesn't like me, I'll help them, cuz they are one part of my life."



I forgot why he talked about this to us. But he were proud of that he was a teacher.

He was teaching English, I'm not sure he was good at teaching but I like his characteristic. He was a little bit strict but I felt his trying to understand us.



When I was a junior high school students, I belonged to tennis clab. Our teacher often used bad words to us when we made a mistake during the game. But, the best thing that she did for us was believing us deeply. Even if it was so strict words, at the same time she believed our power of heart. surely, sometimes I or my teammates hate her. But also she believed her instruction would be understand by us.

the last day of our club life, she apreciaed us like "thank you for everything until now, you guys didn't give up and followed me. I am glad to spend a time with you and tennis." we were moved by her speech.

all great teachers that I've ever met seemed to enjoy meeting students rather than teaching English, Japanese, Math and so on. The interesting thing for them is that they can be mixed up with young people who have hope, potentialities, dream etc. in the future. They are glad to have effect to students.

around me, some friends wanna be a teacher. I really hope that they will feel greatful to meet the students!! even if they don't show thier interests to you, don't give up!! they are waching you ALWAYS:) and believe your students!!

Good Luck!!
