Teacher is not a simple proffesion

"Kita jadi bisa menulis dan membaca, kar’na siapa
Kita jadi tahu beraneka bidang ilmu, dari siapa
Kita jadi pintar dibimbing Pak Guru
Kita jadi pandai dibimbing Bu Guru
Guru bak pelita penerang dalam gulita, Jasamu tiada tara"


Thats a simple lyric of song which tells about the teacher... Great.....
Sometimes I do not understand, how could so many people say that teacher is not a high-class profession..
There are so many parents who ask their children to be a doctor, a bussinessman, or other professions. Yeah,,, nowadays people changed. Perhaps it is because of "certification".... hahahahah.

Yeah thats an intermezo...

Next meeting will be my turn to teach in a teaching class of Micro Teaching Class....
My heart is beating so fast from now.... I do not know...
However, i will try my best..
Based on my friends' experience, they have already taught successfully, so that I will...

Perhaps, someday I will become a teacher.... and PBI has made me love to teach...

Again.... Micro Teaching

There's a fire inside of everybody
Burning clear & bright
There's a power in the faintest heartbeat
That cannot be denied
Go on and trust yourself
Cause you can ride the wind
You're gonna take your dreams
Where's they've never been

That is the lyric of There's a Hero by Billy Gilman..... My favourite song which motivates me to do more and more...and reminds me that I also have something....
Sometimes I feel so bad, I think I can not do what my friends' did...
They are so excelent in my opinion.
However, I believe that there's a miracle for me....... yeah.
Last week, I learned from my friends who had done their job. Yeah good job!.
Sarce is one of them. She seemed so calm and moved freely as a professional teacher. Zico, I think he will be a teacher who is so kind. He gave candies for all the students, and he gave pens for those who answered the questions.. Wew..
However, is it a good idea? Hmmmmm fifty - fifty, I think. When I looked around, the students motivated to answer because of the pens, and the others were so attracted to get one, and the discussion was not focused on the purpose. I think it will be better, when the teacher provided gifts for the students, he/she give the gifts after the discussion. Hmmm.... thats my opinion.
next week will be my turn to be a teacher....... I really hope, I give my best..

The next reflection

two weeks ago I did not come to the class of micro teaching because I had to join Latihan Alam for Choir of Sanata Dharma... So I lost my opportunity to see my friends' performance.
Last week, I really appreciated to my friends.... They are great teachers, I think.
Actually, I am starting to be bored, by doing class activity of micro teaching....like being a students, being a teacher.... Yeah but.... sometimes My friends make me feel so happy.
Besides, all my works, papers, assignments..........wew the activity of being PBI students has made me crazy......But yeah as the song of Josh Groban...
