Throwback when I was in high school, I really don’t know what course I will take in college. First I thought I like to work in an office as a business person or to work as a kitchen person. Then, there was a time where I was in third year that I got inspired by my teacher in English who passed away few months ago, who teaches us more than the lesson she prepared for us. She tough us good values, how to make decisions, and the possible risk of it and accept the consequences of every decision we've made. She said “I don’t care if you will not remember the lessons we have discussed, but make sure that the values you've learned from me should manifest to your future. If not, I’ll rise from my grave and haunt you”.
That moments leads to my mind that I like to be a teacher, I want to be what she was. So I took Bachelor of Secondary Education – Social Studies.
My first year as an education student wasn't good, its boring, maybe we don’t have major or professional subjects yet that focuses in teaching profession. But all changed when the next school years when we started to have professional subject accompanied by field studies. That was the time I enjoy and become excited to finish schooling and to become a real licensed teacher. We have studied theories, teaching strategies and more about teaching profession. We have attended seminars and conventions that enrich our knowledge that could help us in the near future.
Practice Teaching
Before, I thought I already know everything I need for my future profession, but I was wrong. The theories and things that I have learned from the past years of my studies is very idealistic far beyond the reality of teaching experience. I have learned all lot from my mentor / coordinating teacher, well to her co-teachers and to my friends around me. By observations, I learned many things. I have dissected things that I need to do and I need to avoid. My mentor thought me how to deal in extreme situations and how to separate personal emotions from work. Teachers should maintain its distance and limitation from the students in order to be respected by them.

At first, I was very nervous and afraid. It is because of my condition. The first things that comes on my mind was how will survive this, how will I respond on the sarcasms of my students, how will I gain respect from them. That was the hardest time of my life as a student teacher. Time passes by, I learned how to get rid of that thoughts. I learned how to deal with it, How to illuminate the negative vibes that cross on my mind about myself, I learned so many things.
