"A teacher is also a writer who writes not books, but living people. Yevgeny Yevtushenko What to be? This question comes up sooner or later before every person. Since childhood we all dream of becoming someone: someone is an actress, someone is a lawyer, someone is a journalist. All these are our dreams. And we become: one - an accountant, another - a manager, the third - a surgeon. Why does a person choose this or that profession in life? What contributes to this? A command from above? People who meet on his way? Beautiful and tragic events that have occurred in life? Or maybe all together?
Choosing a profession
Is one of the most important moments in life. It is important to remember: when choosing a profession, we plan our whole future life. Of course, it is possible to change a profession, but it is often connected with loss of time, stress, and everyday problems. Much better when your favorite profession is chosen and mastered once and for all. A person who gives himself completely to it, can count on both material stability and success in life. I have made my choice long ago. I have always been attracted to the profession of a teacher. I have loved to portray teachers since childhood. All my games were connected with school. It was so interesting to sit down my "students" (dolls, toys) and tell them something, to try to explain to them for the first time everything that my parents taught me, and then to put them in the evaluation journal, to check notebooks...It seemed that it was so easy...And then He appeared. This man is our Teacher, who meets us as young children at the doorstep of the school, opens up the world of knowledge for us and leads us through all these long school years. Then, in due course, we will understand how decisive was for us this person who came in the childhood. The teacher occupies an important place in every person's life. From the school bench, we begin our journey into adulthood, constantly feeling the support and attention of our teachers - people who generously share their experience, knowledge and warmth with their students. I am sure that each of us, no matter how old we are, at least remember the name of our first teacher or the name of our favorite teacher in the subject that we liked the most at school. I remember my school with a smile and shudder.
here were interesting, talented teachers in it, and there were those who shouted at us and tried to hit us with a pointer. But I am grateful to both of them, because they taught me life, not cherishing, but presenting the whole harsh reality. They made real people out of the unthinkable children, who are able to live, fight and achieve their goals! Perhaps you will ask why this profession is the most important? And how else could it be? After all, teachers deal with the most delicate and fragile matter - with children's souls. And they have no right to make mistakes.
Teacher, teacher, mentor is not even a profession, but a vocation.
After all, not everyone can become a brilliant artist, great musician or actor. Not everyone can become a real teacher. The teacher's task is to see individuality even in the most ordinary person, to find a special approach to each student. My first demand to the teacher is his soul and heart, and only then professionalism, knowledge of the subject, the presence of a diploma of graduation, etc. After all, what to hide, you can have two or three higher education, all kinds of high ranks, but be insufficiently educated in the moral sense. And it is necessary to note at once that without love to children at school it is impossible to work! What is the teacher's love? What is the peculiarity of the teacher's "love" for the child? The fact is that an adult's love for a child is a normal and natural feeling. I don't know a person who can say that he doesn't love children. If this is the case, then there is something wrong with the person's mental or even physical health. But if a person is physically and spiritually healthy, then for him to love children is a perfectly normal condition. And so, when they say that they need to love a child teacher, it is ridiculous, a child should be loved by every person, not just mom and dad, every person should treat the child with tenderness.
And how should the teacher feel about the child? I think so: a sense of interest. Not every ordinary person can be interested in every child. But for the teacher, every child who is under his or her influence should be of interest to him or her. For the class teacher, these are the children of his class, for the after-school teacher - the children of his group, for the headmaster - the pupils of his school. Each of these children should be interesting.
