BEING A TEACHER = A Final Conclusion

I remember, when I was in last period of Senior High School, I had never thought that I wanted to be a teacher. Even I thought that being a teacher would be disaster for me. I wanted to be a carrier woman who works in a big company.

Then in fact, God has had another plan. I failed in some test to get study in universities but I’ve gotten scholarship in an educational study. At the first I felt doubt choosing this program. Moreover I had a ticket to be an Indonesia University’s student that was actually my big dream.  But finally I wanted to make my parents happy so I chose Sampoerna School of Education.

I tried to implant a mindset that I was passionate to be a teacher but it was useless. That was so hard to find out the passion. Yes I enjoyed the study but I did realize that later on this study will connect me to be a teacher. I just flew my life way as a student and tried as can as I did to get good grade.

Then I had experience in teaching practice at third semester and since that even, I’ve started to be aware little by little what being a teacher is. Then I’ve found it after I taught as a teacher in a real class. Facing students as the next generation of our nation has opened my mind that they need a guide to grab their future. Certainly a teacher plays a main role to success that goal thru education. For being a teacher, teacher must be educated well at first. But it’s not enough just by it. The quality of teachers in Indonesia should be integrated if the generations of this nation are wanted to bring this nation to get prosperity. Shortly, Indonesia needs high quality of teachers.

If people give their hope at us, candidate of teachers, and one of us is me, should I still be a useless person? I should not, right? How a careless I am if I do not maximize this precious opportunity. So I have to be serious in studying and loving my learning. Fortunately in Sampoerna School of Education, the educational system fully supports the learning both of fun and effective. All of lecturers also have good dedications in teaching us.

There is a lecturer that inspired me, or may be inspired to all of SSE students. I think he is a real teacher. He understands so well how to make learning takes place. He knows how to dedicate each student in different way. He is such an actor in class because he is an expert and very talented.

I just imagine that all of teachers in Indonesia have the same thinking like him, I believe there will be a good progress in Indonesian education. That is a dream of all of Indonesian people and sure being my dream too. So, I love the way I do learning because I love for being a teacher.
