Choosing the field of education
By: Darvesh Karim
Entering the education field has been a very motivated decision
for me. This particular decision is completely based on the former experience I
had had all the way to the moment I decided I will connect my future with it.
Nowadays, when parents are very busy the workers of the educational field are
the people, who teach the young generation what is beautiful and what is ugly,
what is right and what is wrong and million other things. Every person someday
used to be an ordinary pupil that had teachers. The schooling experience of
every person may develop either positive or negative attitude towards education
in general. It is a fact of common knowledge that one of the most important
parts in the educational process is the teacher. Choosing the education field
has to be connected with a “calling” of a person, because it requires a lot of
professional and personal qualities and constant self-perfection.
My personal experience in school taught me that a teacher could
really make a difference in the process of education. A teacher may develop
respect to the subject, to the teacher’s personality and to the education in
general. A pupil may even see the difference in the manner of explaining and
presenting the material teaching the same subject.
I discovered this difference when I had a substitute teacher
coming to class and making my most hated subject one of the most interesting in
the whole school program. I decided that I do want to make children love
teaching and show them how fun and interesting learning can be. I decided to
make it the reason of my life.
There have been lots of debates on good and bad teachers. And this
particular experience made me realize that I do want to make a difference for
children and make their education interesting for them in the first place and therefore
motivate their own educational activity. I want to become a “good” teacher, not
just a teacher reproducing the material student knows, but sharing attitudes,
experience and reveal all the interesting sides in the educational process. It
is vital to make sure the pupils get only the most positive experience from
teaching. My experience made me realize how many mistakes some teachers do and
gave the greatest desire to learn everything in order to become a real
professional in the field of education.
Such a position towards education may reveal more talented young
people among pupils and students. By making the process of education more
productive we increase the educational level of the whole nation and I want to
make my own personal contribution into this “highly professional education”. I
have also thought that sharing the knowledge you have with other people is
wonderful, and maybe one day I will inspire a young person to dedicate him/herself
to the field of education. And this will be the best reward for me and for all
the forces I plan to contribute in this field now. This experience was a “push”
in the direction of the field I admire so much.
