How has your life changed as a result of being a teacher and leading a class? “I became more confident, energetic and my speaking skills have improved.” “I do not get as nervous when I speak in front of a big group.” “I am able to act more as a leader.” “I speak my English better than when we started.” “It made me realize that if I make a commitment to something I could make a good job at it.” “Through this program I learned how to be a successful teacher and learned how to lead a class with confidence.” What was your favorite part about teaching? “When we walked into the room they are eager to know what they will learn that day.” “Getting to know yourself and having a new experience.” “The way the kids look up to you and share their ideas so willingly.” From being a teacher, how has your understanding of your high school day teachers changed? “I see my teachers different in the way that now I know how hard it is for them to stand in front of a class that doesn’t pay attention.” “I learned that being a teacher is not easy. There are many things you have to do like being patient.” “I have more respect for them.”
