I came across this article written by a history teacher. It is interesting....somehow, the essence that I got from reading this article is that u need to be a child in order to connect with children, but yet, u need to maintain a side of you as an adult to show them what the world has to offer, and guide them according to the societal rules.

While, I am excited about teaching, I am also afraid that I would not be able to handle it. THe children especially. WHile, I want to be nice to them, I know that I would have to be firm and assertive too.
There are many articles telling stories about the life cycle of a new teacher. they describe how the new teachers feel through the initial year of their career. It is true. I know that there will be many hurdles to cross. I just hope that I can manage them well and not fumble, knowing the expectations that I have of myself.
