We are all teacher wethere we like it or not our action teach others, even when you talk people could learn something from you. To me being able to teach is a basic skill, but how do you teach. That’s where it gets tricky your not actually supposed to teach you’re supposed to inspire so that they can learn without you. There is a quote that says, “ A mediocre teacher tells, a good teacher explains, a superior teacher explains, and a great teacher inspires” Personally, since I’ve been a kid I’ve wanted to inspire people. I’ve wanted to be a spoken word poet and inspire people with real world problems. Then again that is not the only way to inspire.
Yesterday, I over heard someone say that there were around 26 people applying for the Innovation Academy in10th grade. That’s amazing, but then how is Bonnici going to decide who best fits the IA and who doesn’t. I ran into Bonnici later that day, we started talking about this. One thing led to another and somehow we started talking about jobs. He told me that he thinks I make a good teacher and asked if I have ever thought about being one.
This startled me nobody has ever asked or told me this. I didn’t know what to say. So I did what I always do, smile say thanks and move on. I couldn’t stop thinking about it though; I asked Pedro what were his thoughts on me being a good teacher. He didn’t think I would be a good teacher. Why not? Why would Bonnici say I could be a good teacher but not Pedro? Did they know me differently, did one know me better than the other or does one know me better then I know myself.
Maybe Pedro is right. On Tuesday I was teaching a girl how to lead climb. It was unexpected I didn’t I would be teaching. Didn’t prepare for it. I didn’t teach her as well as I thought I could have. I actually put our lives in danger at one point. I was able to calm her down and acted normal and mature when it happened. At the end she did learn how to lead climb but was it the best way. There were many small aspects that I forgot to mention, which are very important. I realized this because of Willie.
Can I be a teacher? No matter what, I’m going to have to learn to teach. In an adventure agency I need to teach people how to kayak, zip line, and more. So what is it, I’m going to have to ask?
