🔆 Something about teaching

 "Write something about Teaching."

"I do not know every answer, Chicharin, ask someone else or try open the app and figure it out by yourself," said my father twelve years ago when I asked for the first time how I could make a PowerPoint presentation. That "do it by yourself" changed everything from then on. 

    Realizing that teaching requires courage, desire, and compromise puts you in an uncomfortable position when it is time to do it. Teaching in front of a group makes you feel your mistakes—if any—more vividly and drastic. It ignites a personal challenge that always returns with the improvement of one ability. (For instance, you strengthen your public speaking abilities as well as your comprehension and cohesion). 

    This text is a self-reflective declaration of my beliefs about teaching and learning. If education drives you crazy most of the time, you can feel identified with me on this. Your heart shares the same word as mine; this outstanding concept is called Passion.

    First, I tried to make it real and long enough; however, my thoughts were fighting each other, and the final result is not what expected.  

    Second, by the end of 2018, making the right questions at the right time was a crucial part of my development. I started changing how I asked questions, communicated uncertainties, and paid attention, to focus on being respectful with people. That made me realize the power of taking notes effectively and using them in my favor. I applied them to my next presentation.

    Finally, I identified three main steps to accomplish the best class, regardless of your sex and a college degree.

1. Prepare your material. After years of research and being in front of a class, I discovered the best way to make your students love the course is your work material. Yes, it matters. And the way you present it, too. It is not the same to improvise every aspect of your speech to show figures and specific data alongside. The precise information is vital for making a significant contribution to the person. 
2. Think and answer in advance. There will be times when your students will not want to ask questions to avoid feeling stupid in front of their peers. Why this? Because before being a teacher, you were a student. Said so, think like your younger self. Ask the silly questions your students have to make but do not dare.
3. Call your students by their names. "Remember that a person's name is to that person, the sweetest and most important sound in any language." Dale Carnegie (1888 - 1955) One of the best teachers I have had made me improve a lot thanks to his 

To be honest, this is the most challenging text I have written. I have been almost two hours typing it, and nothing goes on. I wanted to cry. I discovered I take this topic as granted—as something hereditary.

I grew up teaching, hearing, and taking notes to replicate it on my way later. My mom taught me how to use a mouse when I was four and how to use nickelodeon.com at age five. After that, I created my first blog to guide my cousins, who were older than me. How could teaching be difficult? Maybe in the future, I will feel more comfortable to answer that question with more detail. I will finish saying: As you teach, you learn. 

Onward...
