Why I decided to become a teacher?

Dear friends, my name is Karagoz Omarova and I am happy to welcome you all on my personal site. I am studying at Kostanay State Pedagogical Institute on foreign languages faculty. My future professional occupation is teaching. Many friends ask me why I decided to study foreign languages and become a teacher. The first thought that comes to my mind is that I am keen on English language, because I have been learning it since 2nd grade at school. Second reason is that being a teacher is the most important profession in different societies. Teachers do not only teach students, they influence their lives as well as interact with them. As a teacher, you are more than just an educator: you are a mentor, a confidant and a friend. That fact inspires and encourages me in my desire. I think it is great to see your students succeed. They come into your classroom with different strengths, weaknesses, backgrounds, and beliefs about themselves. There are no "un-teachable" students - simply students who haven't met the right teacher to teach them. To take a student from "I can't" to "I can!" is one of the moments that make all the hard work worth it. The next reason is that teaching will keep me young, because I will be surrounded by young, energetic and enthusiastic generation. Also, teaching someone is an opportunity to alter his or her life to the right path. I, as a teacher, can prepare students to become law-abiding citizens, critical-thinkers, problem-solvers and just good persons who are in harmony with their soul and mind. Being a teacher gives a possibility to learn together with students, because we live in terms of new technologies and modern teachers should use them in their work. That's why teacher is not only an educator, but also a learner. And the last reason, but not the least is that I love children and I love working with them. It is great to see their achievements, improvements and victories.
