A person who nurture and help individual to find and develop his skill and abilities. Teacher, a friendly, generous, funny, approachable courageous, knowledgeable person and an inspiration to all of the students and teachers alike. There are different types of teachers.

...An Effective Teacher “Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more”, just like the words imparted to me by one of the best teacher I’ve evr met where she says that “doctors can kill a person, a lawyer can cost one’s freedom but a teacher can destroy a nation”. Those very words are like fuel that triggers the passion burning within my heart. Teaching is never been an easy job but it is indeed a very significant and noble job. Teachers build ones nation. “Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means”, this saying is being proven by my very own professor in this subject in which she says that “teachers must do what they teach”. An effective teacher is a good example of a good citizen, a model who possesses kindness, compassion and humbleness. The very important job of a teacher is not only to give knowledge but also to help students how to use that knowledge. Just like the saying goes, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. An effective teacher never stop in finding new ways on how their student can be involve in the learning for them to understand more. You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself that’s why teachers should not only impose students that they need to learn but also inspires them for them to find in their hearts that eagerness to learn. An effective teacher makes sure that he invites pleasant emotions rather...

...Mark Edmundson's excerpt from "Education's Hungry Hearts," mentions how "having a hungry heart" makes all the difference for educators to feel passion for their choice of career. A "hungry heart" not only defines a student's eagerness to learn and greed for knowledge, it also represents a teacher's desire to change the attitude of his or her pupils. The most attention is not given to those who speak of interesting subjects with tones void of any emotion, but to those who view the most trivial matters with more passion than any other can. The reason that makes Edmundson's view on having a "hungry heart" make "all the difference for a young person seeking an education" so agreeable is perhaps the most ironic of all. As the society gets more and more caught up with the advancements of technology, science, and education, knowledge becomes something less of which people are hungry for, as it makes way for a new generation of mandatory, test-driven learning....

...the mental suffering in the world is unnecessary because it subscribes to the false expectation that we are called to alleviate each other’s loneliness. “When our loneliness drives us away from ourselves into the arms of our companions in life, we are driving ourselves into excruciating relationships, tiring friendships and suffocating embraces” (Nouwen, 1975, p. 30). “To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude” (Nouwen, 1975, p. 34) Next, he explores the benefits of solitude. Solitude of the heart enables us to perceive and understand the world from a quiet inner center, tuned into the world and words of others while paying attention to our inner selves. Nouwen (1975) says relationships can become toxic without solitude of the heart. We become unable to appreciate the differences in others, and are only able to see them as a means to fulfill our own hidden needs. Solitude also allows humanity to promote solidarity in pain and compassion. In the movement from loneliness to solitude, we reach to our innermost being for great healing...

...I have had the privilege of working with Carter over the past few years and have been able to observe the quality and integrity of his work. Talking with Carter, I can sense his genuine enthusiasm to be an educator. He doesn’t view it simply as something that will pay the bills. He views it as more than that. He is a motivated and passionate student and classmate, helping to spread a positive environment in the classroom. I’m sure that the positivity he brings as a student and the energy which he pours into his education will carry forward as a teacher as well. Throughout the time I’ve known Carter, he has exhibited a willingness to work hard and strive to get better, regardless of the time and effort required. This, however, is not what is...

...Heart of Darkness A Literary Gem or Trash ? Joseph Conrad an active explorer and a prestigious ,author during the late 1800s , wrote one of the most boring books in history , Heart of Darkness. The novel is reflected upon his exploration in the Congo , where he witnessed human corruption and greed. It is centered around the Imperial Era where the Europeans would do anything to attain more power, surpassing humane behavior , which resulted in their savage and vicious attitude: brutes. Heart of Darkness exhibits Conrad’s alter ego , beheld by darkness itself , human corruption , and discrimination . However , when reading it question yourself whether heart Of Darkness is a valuable worth your time! No. It is a piece of nonsense , that’s captivates our confusion rather than our interest , through the eyes of high school students. High school teachers may say “ it is a literary gem that delves deep into the heart of man, and makes the reader reflect on his/her personal values. While intended to highlight the politics of discrimination, this novella holds merit for high school students as well.” (Ms.Herzog).But is it morally right for teachers to assign such a difficult book considering our limited learning capacities? The book was designed for colleagues; incorporating abstract meanings, “rich symbolism”. and literary devices; things that our minds can not keep up with. As a high school student , I find the novel...

...Running head: WHY I WOULD BE A TEACHER Why I Would Be a Teacher Belinda Parker GCU Exploring Education as a Profession Edu-310 Leah Barley April 29, 2012 Why I Would Be a Teacher One must have a love, passion, and a very caring spirit as well as a desire to help children/students and willing to help them become successful, the love that personally that I have as an upcoming educator I want to have a great impact on students to let them know that they can learn at their level and as well be an encourager, and be there for each one of my student. Being in the classroom now as a teacher’s assistant has really given a great desire to continue my education and becoming an educator as a profession. Some educators take teaching as a vocation or a calling personally would say it would be a calling. It takes a special person to help students and a great love to help each one of them and a desire to see them be successful in their lives. My soul desire is to have my finger print on each child/student that is worked with in the classroom. Reward in teaching isn’t the money, but it is self-satisfaction when one has made a difference in a student’s/child’s life. If we as future educators could help build a child’s self-esteem and encourage them that they can reach their goals in life and be happy with them when they obtain their goals, this is a great payment and the privilege of being a teacher. Having more money as a teacher would be a Great Blessing, but seeing a child obtain...
