RE: ✳️ Mel Booker Music Contest #2 ✳️ What Is Your Passion? ✳️

in #contest7 years ago

Thanks for asking this question! I'm sure it will light a fire in any heart that has a passion!

I am passionate about changing the way people think about education. Making people understand that you learn for your life, not for you exams. Giving them problems that makes them think instead of making them memorise stuff. I am an engineering student and I love learning and teaching! I am so passionate about such a seemingly small thing probably because this is not a small thing, this is the most important thing one can learn or do, teach effectively! I have always admired the power a teacher holds. You think an engineer is smart? An engineering teacher handles(and yes, trust me, we need to be handled) more than you would care to be left alone with it. A particle physicist is brilliant? Well you get the point.

I believe that teachers need to realise that power. And they need to use it for the greater good. You can imagine the possibilities that would come if the teachers just buckled up and took their job seriously. Pardon me, not job, profession! And yes, do not take up this profession when you fail at everything else. Take it when you succeed at everything. This is not a last resort. This should be a childhood dream, to teach!
Cheers to those who agree!
Think harder to those who do not!

Wow...teaching is something great.
We all are because we've been taught.

you are right my friend.

Teaching isn't just impacting, it is a light to the tutor and the taught. The teacher gets opened to learning new ways to what he's teaching while the student learns a new art.

I am a fan of teaching myself and I would definitely love to teach one day

Truer words have never been spoken.

You are right friend. There must be a unique shift in how education and not academics now is been handled. All parties included i.e the students and the teacher mustbe equiped to be team players.
