why i teach
good morning ladies and gentlemen
i’m very honored to be here speaking to you all about why i teach we are all teachers here and i wonder if you’ve ever asked yourself the question why do i teach
why do i teach i ask myself the same question time and againcertainly i don＇t teach because it is easy for me teaching is the most difficult job there is for me teaching is a redeye sweatypalm sinkingstomach profession redeye because i never feel ready to teach no matter how late i stay up preparing sweatypalm because i＇m always nervous before i enter the classroom sure that i will be exposed for the fool that i am sinkingstomach because i leave the classroom an hour later convinced that i was even more boring than usual
why then do i teach？
i teach because teaching is a profession built on change when the material is the same i change – and more importantly my students change
i teach because i like the freedom to make my own mistakes to learn my own lessons to inspire myself and my students as a teacher i＇m my own boss and every year i return to my work with fresh ideas and a new sense of purpose
i teach because i like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer the world is filled with too many easy answers to bad questions
i have left out however the most important reasons why i teach
one is jian jun he was a shy little boy from a poor family one day i noticed that he used his paper twice once with a pencil then with a pen i guess he didn’t have enough money to buy more paper as a teacher i can offer him my help easily but he was very sensitive how could i help him without letting him feel embarrassed after class i asked him to my office he was a bit nervous first i gave him my suggestions on his writing then i handed him a pile of white paper by the way i have too much paper here i can’t use them up could you please do me a favor to use them up he looked at my smiling face a bit surprised and then relaxed and happy yes of course he helped me use the paper for three years till his graduation
jian jun is working in the central sea oil company now every teacher’s day and every new year’s day he may give me a phone call to send me his best wishes i just offered him a little help but to him it was love and care deep as a well
another reason is oscar he was clever but usually absentminded one day in class i found him not listening to me carefully as usual i walked to his desk he was reading a story book attentively once he saw me he gave me the book should i criticize him should i be angry and start to give the students moral lessons i continued my lesson as if nothing happened after class i wrote a sentence on the bookmark and gave the book back to him with a smile on my face the sentence said youth is a book which is very hasty
as i myself like reading very much the next day i gave my students a book list and i suggested them to read more books in their spare time
later he came into my office stood in front of me bowed to me deeply with tears in his eyes and then left without saying anything but i did feel the change in him ever after
from themmy first students i realized that the best way of teaching is love and wisdom rather than showing anger or criticism we may meet some students that are not so clever and not so lovely some of them even give us a headache but love and wisdom do wonders
these are the real reasons i teach these people who grow and change in front of me like living sculptures being a teacher is being present at the creation when the person in the clay begins to take shape
a socalled promotion out of teaching would give me money and power but i am already rich because i get paid to do what i enjoy reading talking with people and asking questions like what is the point of being rich
i also have power the power to nudge to point out a pathway to help mold a human being it is the power to change a young person’s life for the better what other power matters？
i teach because teaching offers something beyond money and power it offers love this is not only the love of learning and ideas but also the love that a teacher feels when those students walk into the classroom and begin to change in front of my eyes perhaps love is the wrong word magic might be better
i teach because being around people who are just beginning to change i often find myself changing along with them there is no rule which says a teacher cannot learn from her students i teach because even though the content stays the same the students are always surprising me with new lessons
thank you
