My concerns for teaching are mostly to do with the interaction with kids. I have not built up my confidence speaking in front of my peers, and I am worried about how it will be when I have 20 kids in front of me. Another concern I have is being too quite. I do not want my kids to walk all over me because I am so quite. Do not get me wrong I do not want to be the teacher that is always yelling at my students but I think a great teacher knows when to focus and when to have a little fun. That is another thing I am worried about, being too "fun". I want each and everyday to be different from the last, and I want to have fun with learning, but I do not want my peer teachers to think I am not taking it seriously.
The stage that most concerns me is the personal (self) stage. As I think back to all of the teachers that impacted me the most, I remember the relationship me and the teacher had. Whether I could go to the teacher for advice, laughter, learning, what made them so specialy to me was the different connections I made with teacher that helped me be where I am today. I want to be the teacher that is there for my students when they need help with school, but also a listener to help them just talked about their problems. I want kids to want to be in my class and share with me their life, because how can I impact it, if I do not get to know them?
