Being a teacher is not easy because teaching
is a career that involves a lot of challenges and excitement. It also offers
personal reward and a chance to encourage and support others to achieve their
own goals as well as their dreams in life.
June 11, 2014 was among the most memorable
dates in my life. This day marked as an additional milestone in my life and the
first day of my teaching career.
I was very
excited to be at school this day to meet my new college accounting students. I wanted to be there on the
first day with the students for several reasons. One of those reasons was
to help myself appear as another authoritative adult in the class, rather than
just a visitor.
Standing in front of my students and of our
college dean was not easy at first. I admit that during my first demonstration,
I felt so nervous and terrified. I was nervous about what would be the initial
outcome of my first demonstration. I felt terrified and anxious about myself as
well. I was worried that I could not be able to live up with what was expected of
me. I was also worried about not hitting the school’s standards of teaching.
I was fortunate enough because the topic I
handled for my first class, where the dean himself sat as an audience, was
basic accounting principles. I am very confident about this subject matter and
I know I can be able to deliver my lessons well because this accounting basic
is one of my favorite accounting subjects. And as I have expected, I received an A+ mark for my first actual teaching experience.
